Description

If you've ever tasted homegrown peas, you know they outshine store-bought varieties in flavor and texture. 'Cascadia' snap peas are no exception, with thick, juicy 3″ pods that are sweet and crunchy—perfect for fresh eating, steaming, or stir-frying. The disease-resistant plants, which grow to a self-supporting height of 30″, are resilient to powdery mildew and pea enation mosaic virus, making them an excellent choice for late summer sowing. Whether you harvest early for snacking or leave them to grow for a heartier dish, these peas are a true garden delight.
