This improved version of Sugar Snap produces the sweetest dark green snap peas with an excellent crunch. Super Sugar Snap's 10cm (4") long, plump pods grow in pairs on 1.5-2m (5-6') tall vines. The most renown snap pea for its incomparable flavour and high yields. The vigorous climbing vines must be trellised. Although Super Sugar Snap is not resistant to the enation virus, it is typically trouble free, providing easy-to-harvest peas in June and July.
