Avalanche snow pea produces 13.5cm (5.25") pods that are sweet and tender. Plants are a semi-leafless, afila type that produce tendrils that can be used for a garnish and loads of double pods for an abundant harvest. Plant two to three rows close together and plants will intertwine, providing support for each other. Expect a height of 90cm (36").
Matures in 60 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)
