Dwarf Sugar Grey Pea Seeds - Heirloom Non-GMO (1/4 oz)

Dwarf Sugar Grey Pea is a classic heirloom variety prized for its sweet, tender peas and compact growth habit. These non-GMO seeds produce sturdy, dwarf plants that are perfect for small gardens, raised beds, or containers. The vines grow to about 2-3 feet tall and yield crisp, sugary pods that are delicious fresh, steamed, or added to stir-fries.

As an heirloom variety, Dwarf Sugar Grey Pea has been passed down through generations for its reliable performance and excellent flavor. The plants are relatively easy to grow and can be sown directly in the garden in early spring or fall. Their compact size makes them a great choice for gardeners with limited space who still want a bountiful harvest.

Planting & Care

Sow Dwarf Sugar Grey Pea seeds directly outdoors in early spring, about 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb, though dwarf varieties may need less support.

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest pods when they are plump and peas are tender, usually 60-70 days after planting. For best flavor, pick regularly to encourage continued production. Avoid overwatering, as peas are susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils.
