The listing, (5) Chinese Snow Peas Seeds has ended.

Snow peas are another popular cool season oriental vegetable that has captured the interest of American growers. Snow peas are easy to grow and have an excellent flavor. Snow peas have light green pods that follow purple or white, sweetly scented flowers.

Snow peas prefer a soil that is rich in phosphorus and potassium. If your soil is acidic, add ground dolomitic limestone to raise the pH.. Snow peas require a fertilizer high in phosphate and potash. There is little need for extra nitrogen since the plants fix atmospheric nitrogen. Snow peas will perform best in soil with plenty of organic matter which makes the soil moisture retentive. Select a site in full sun and be sure to rotate peas annually to avoid blights and root rots. All snow peas need some sort of trellis, even the dwarf varieties. They have fairly weak root systems and untrellised peas don't produce as well as those on a sturdy trellis. A lightweight trellis of netting or string is sufficient as long as it is securely anchored. Some gardeners use shrubby branches to make a natural trellis.
