First introduced in 1896, the Mammoth Melting Sugar Pea is a time-tested pea beloved for its exceptional flavor, vigorous growth, and abundant yields. Also known as Mammoth Melting Sugar Pea, this heirloom pea has remained a garden favorite for over a century, prized by generations of gardeners for its sweet, tender pods and reliable performance. The Mammoth Melting Pea's vines reach 4 to 5 feet tall and benefit greatly from trellising, which supports heavy pod production and keeps harvests clean and easy. Plants are highly productive and show notable resistance to common pea diseases, making them a dependable choice for both new and experienced gardeners. But of course, what we love most about the Mammoth Melting Pea is its tender, flat pods which can reach up to 5 inches in length! We enjoy eating them fresh, tossing them into stir-fries, and adding them to salads for a sweet, crunchy bite. Beyond their flavor, the tender, sugar peas are rich in vitamins B and C, magnesium, iron, and thiamine, making them both healthy and delicious! What more can one ask for? Expect harvests to begin approximately 74 days after sowing. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.
