Snap pea 'Sugar Star Hybrid'

For Square Foot gardens, train through three-sided wire cages. If needed, add support by tying string between two wire sides of cage for plants to train up through top of wire cage.

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water very often. Keep in mind when planting that Sugar Star Hybrid is thought of as half hardy, so it will need protecting in periods of cold weather. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 6.5 as Sugar Star Hybrid likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Soak overnight before sowing directly outdoors. For Square Foot gardens, plant 8 seeds per sq. ft.

Aim to sow 0.99 inches (2.54 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 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 Sugar Star Hybrid about 42 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Sugar Star Hybrid is a half hardy plant.

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