    Super Sugar Snap is the best tasting of all the snap pea varieties I have ever grown. These peas grow tall. The vines often reach over 6 feet and need a tall support.

    63 days. This new version of the classic Sugar Snap performed extremely well in our trials. It is six days earlier than Sugar Snap and more productive, has shorter vines, resists powdery mildew better but still has the great Sugar Snap flavor.

    Excellent peas. Great texture, never disappointing.
