- Species and varieties: Sugar snap peas (Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon) are a type of edible-pod pea. They are known for their sweet flavor and crisp texture. Popular varieties include 'Sugar Ann', 'Sugar Daddy', and 'Super Sugar Snap'.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Sugar snap peas can be found in both hybrid and heirloom varieties. 'Sugar Ann' and 'Sugar Daddy' are examples of hybrid varieties, while 'Super Sugar Snap' is an heirloom variety known for its reliable performance and excellent taste.
- Pruning and training: Sugar snap peas benefit from support structures like trellises or stakes to keep the vines upright and promote better air circulation. Regularly check for and remove any damaged or diseased foliage to maintain plant health.
- Fertilization needs: Sugar snap peas are light feeders and generally do not require heavy fertilization. However, incorporating compost or a balanced organic fertilizer into the soil before planting can help provide essential nutrients. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they can promote excessive foliage growth at the expense of pod production.
- Hardiness zones: Sugar snap peas are best suited for USDA hardiness zones 3-9. They thrive in cooler weather and can tolerate light frosts.
- Climate requirements: Sugar snap peas prefer a cool climate with temperatures ranging between 55°F and 75°F (13°C to 24°C). They should be planted in early spring or late summer to avoid the heat of mid-summer, which can reduce yield and quality.
