description

Organic Green Pea ‘Sugar Ann’ (Pisum sativum) is an early, productive annual variety highly valued for its tender, crisp, and naturally sweet pods. Its compact growth habit, reaching approximately 60 to 90 cm (24 to 36 in) in height, makes it an excellent choice for small vegetable gardens, raised beds, and containers with a light trellis. Easy to grow, this pea produces a generous harvest quickly, usually within 55 to 65 days after sowing. Its delicate white flowers add a bright touch to spring plantings and announce an abundance of flavorful pods that can be eaten fresh, in salads, stir-fried, or steamed.

Organic Green Pea ‘Sugar Ann’ is direct sown outdoors from April to June, as soon as the soil can be worked in Canada. Peas prefer cool temperatures and germinate well in moist soil maintained between 10 and 18°C (50 to 64°F). Sow seeds 2.5 to 4 cm (1 to 1½ in) deep in loose, organic-rich, slightly acidic to neutral, well-drained soil. A location in full sun or light partial shade during warmer weather is ideal. Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod formation, to keep the soil cool without waterlogging it. A small support makes harvesting easier.

In the vegetable garden, Organic Green Pea ‘Sugar Ann’ fits beautifully into edible gardens, spring plantings, and compact spaces where generous harvests are desired. It grows well alongside carrots, lettuce, radishes, and turnips, while avoiding proximity to onions, garlic, shallots, and leeks. Its flowers attract bees and several beneficial pollinators, supporting garden biodiversity. As a legume, it also helps naturally enrich the soil with nitrogen when the roots are left in place after the crop is finished. Harvest young pods frequently to encourage continuous production.
