(Pisum sativum) 68 days.       This variety is not only stringless, but nearly leafless as well, enabling plants to put more energy into yields, and making for easy harvest! The Sugar Lace II Edible Pod Pea has the same highly productive habit as the original, with even more disease resistance. Compact 24-30″ plants have interlocking tendrils making them self-supporting, and eliminating the need for staking, producing distinctly sweet, large, dark green 3½” pods. Sets well in both Spring and Fall. Disease resistance: Pea Enation Mosaic Virus, Powdery Mildew, and Bean Leaf Roll Virus.

Planting Instructions for Sugar Lace II Pea Seeds

Sugar Lace II peas are a cool weather crop, that like well drained soil and plenty of organic matter to assist with moisture retention. Direct sow Heirloom / Open Pollinated Peas as soon as soil can be worked in the spring. Plant Sugar Lace II pea seeds in full sun, 1-1½” deep, 1 – 2″ apart, in rows 18-24″ apart. Pea seeds should germinate in 6-14 days at 45-75°F. No need to thin plants. Provide a trellis or other support for climbing varieties. Heirloom / Open Pollinated Bush Pea varieties usually do fine with a short trellis or planting in a block so Pea plants support each other. Harvest Heirloom / Open Pollinated Shelling Peas when pods are full and plump and peas are tender; Heirloom / Open Pollinated Snap Peas when the pods start filling out but are not yet fully mature; and Heirloom / Open Pollinated Snow Peas when pods are approx. 3″ long and still flat, before seeds start to fill out.
