Pea – Sugar Lace II

An improved descendant of the beloved Sugar Lace, Sugar Lace II carries on the tradition of prolific harvests and ease of picking, with the added bonus of enhanced disease resistance. This improved variety combines great flavor with reliable performance, making it a favorite among home gardeners and market growers alike.

Sugar Lace II is easy to grow, with compact 30-inch vines that produce generous quantities of plump, dark green pods, each reaching about 3½ inches long. The pods themselves are completely stringless, and the nearly leafless vines yield an average of two pods per node, creating a tidy, tangle-free harvest that requires no staking. The plant’s leafless trait allows more sunlight to reach the pods, improving visibility and simplifying harvesting.

In flavor, Sugar Lace II is nothing short of exceptional. Crisp, succulent, and remarkably sweet, the pods are delicious eaten straight from the vine, tossed into salads, or lightly steamed. Their tender crunch and sugary taste make them a standout in springtime kitchens.

Thriving in full sun and the mild conditions of spring or fall, Sugar Lace II adapts well to a range of climates and is especially suited to early- and late-season plantings. In addition to its fine flavor, Sugar Lace II offers practical advantages—pods remain crisp in the refrigerator for up to 10 days when stored unwashed in a perforated bag or container, and they freeze well after blanching for enjoyment beyond the growing season.

High in vitamins A, C, and K, and a good source of folate, Sugar Lace II delivers both nourishment and garden-fresh flavor.
