Oregon Sugar Pod II is a beloved heirloom snow pea variety known for its dependable performance and crisp, sweet flavor. These peas produce abundant flat edible pods that stay tender even as they mature, making them perfect for fresh snacking, stir-fries, or freezing for later use. A favorite among home gardeners, this variety is an easy and rewarding cool-weather crop that delivers excellent yields in a compact space.
Unlike shelling peas, Oregon Sugar Pod II is grown for its entire edible pod, offering a crisp texture and mild, sweet taste. The 3-inch pods form on short, sturdy vines that reach about 2.5 to 3 feet tall, requiring minimal support while producing heavily over several weeks. Pick pods frequently to encourage continuous flowering and a steady harvest throughout the cool season.
This variety thrives in early spring or fall gardens, tolerating light frost and cool nights that would slow other crops. It performs well in raised beds or containers, making it a versatile option for gardeners with limited space. Plant seeds directly outdoors as soon as soil can be worked, and you’ll be enjoying homegrown snow peas in as little as 60 days.
As a nitrogen-fixing legume, Oregon Sugar Pod II also enriches garden soil while it grows, improving the fertility of beds for future plantings. Its adaptability and reliability have made it one of the most trusted snow pea varieties for decades.
Survival Garden Seeds ensures all Oregon Sugar Pod II seeds are heirloom, non-GMO, and open-pollinated—perfect for gardeners seeking self-reliance, healthy food, and a sustainable harvest year after year.
