Plant seeds directly outdoors in a full sun location after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. Sow seeds 1” deep and space plants 4” apart. Keep soil moderately moist during germination and early establishment. Once established, plants grow 18–24” tall with a tidy bush habit and require minimal maintenance thanks to their excellent heat and drought tolerance. Harvest green pods early for fresh peas, or allow pods to mature fully on the vine for dried pea storage. Expect maturity in 70–90 days.
