Organic Giant Swiss Snow Pea
70 days to harvest
Pisum sativum
Description
HEIRLOOM Organic Giant Swiss Snow Pea is, by far, our favorite snow pea, her lime green pods are simply massive with extraordinarily sweet succulence. Giant Swiss is also vigorous: “There is no trellis in the world tall enough!” exclaimed Roger B. Swain in 2015, so be prepared to trellis their 5+ foot vines well. Their elegant purple flowers turn into cascades of huge, delicious pods that produce for several weeks.
