58–65 days from direct sow — Pea Seeds - Snap (Edible Pod) - Cascadia
Cascadia snap peas are a compact, stringless variety bred for exceptional sweetness and crunch. The short, sturdy vines (about 30 inches tall) make them ideal for smaller spaces while still producing a heavy crop. Known for their disease resistance and reliability, Cascadia peas are perfect for gardeners who want maximum flavor without a lot of fuss.
