The Sugar Ann Snap Pea is an award-winning, open-pollinated snap pea variety introduced in 1984—and recognized that same year with the prestigious All-America Selections award for its outstanding performance, early harvest, and sweet flavor. Since then, it has become a trusted favorite among home gardeners and market growers alike. Compact, bushy vines grow just 24 to 30 inches tall, making Sugar Ann an ideal choice for small gardens, containers, or low-maintenance plots. The plants are self-supporting and produce abundant yields of crisp, juicy pods averaging 3 inches in length. Their flavor is exceptionally sweet, perfect for eating straight from the vine, tossing into salads, or lightly steaming. The pods also freeze well, retaining their sweet flavor and tender texture. One of the earliest maturing sugar peas available, Sugar Ann reaches harvest in just 52 days—about ten days earlier than most other snap pea varieties—making it a reliable choice for cool spring planting and quick turnaround. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.
