Everwilde Farms - 1 oz Sugar Lace II Snap Pea Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

The Sugar Lace II pea is a semi-leafless pea variety that grows to about 30" tall and is self-supporting. The pods are stringless, sweet, and crisp, and mature in about 70 days. It is resistant to Powdery Mildew, Bean Leaf Roll Virus, and Pea Enation Mosaic Virus. Though no one really knows when peas were first cultivated, historians can be certain that people grew them for food by the Bronze Age. Legend has it that fresh peas first became popular when a French gardener introduced them to the court of Louis XIV. Because they could be dried and stored for long periods of time, people in colonial times also valued this vegetable. Horticulturalists and gardeners alike have continued cultivating peas of all varieties and sizes.
