Snow Pea Seeds – Pisum sativum Vegetable plant

Snow Pea is a cool-season climbing vegetable grown for its flat, edible pods and delicate vining growth habit. Plants produce tendrils and white flowers followed by tender pods that are harvested while still young. This species is suitable for garden beds, raised beds, and trellis-supported plantings.
