Snap pea 'Russian Sugar'

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water very often. Russian Sugar is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so it will require protection in frosts and low temperatures. Russian Sugar needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 6.5 (weakly acidic soil).

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.99 inches (2.54 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 2.97 inches (7.62 cm) between Snap pea plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 4°C / 39°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Russian Sugar about 42 days before your last frost date.

Russian Sugar is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
