Snap pea 'Cascadia'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Cascadia is thought of as half hardy, so although it can survive a small mild cold snap, it is wise to ensure that this plant is protected from frost damage. Planting Cascadia in loamy soil with a ph of between 5.5 and 6.5 is ideal for as it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Sow directly into the garden as soon as soil can be worked in the spring.

Sow 0.99 inches (2.54 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 2.97 inches (7.62 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 4°C / 39°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Cascadia about 28 days before your last frost date.

As Cascadia is half hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

Harvest pods at three inches long for best flavor.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late spring.
