- EvannaRated 5 out of 5 stars5/24/26Not a big pea person
I honestly planted these for the blooms and how cool the leaves of peas look. Im in zone 6a, so I direct sowed them in early march and started picking on May 20! The taste of these peas are so mild that I snack on them while I am picking. I even am enjoying them in stir fry. I think I am a pea person now?
Great germination rates, easy to trellis and the pods are tasty.

What a delightful surprise - converting from "not a pea person" to a pea person with our Cascadia Snap Pea Seeds! We love hearing that you started growing them for the blooms and beautiful foliage but ended up falling in love with the mild, tasty flavor. From direct sowing in March to picking by May 20th, that's fantastic timing for zone 6a! It sounds like you're getting the full pea experience - snacking while picking and enjoying them in stir fry. We're thrilled that the germination rates were great and they were easy to trellis. Thanks for sharing your wonderful pea conversion story with us! Keep on growing 🌻️

- Mrs. M.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars8/10/25Fingers crossed
I was excited to stumble upon this variety of snap peas because I wanted to have something fun for my toddler to help me harvest later in the season. I meant to wait until later in the summer to start these, but got my seed packet mixed up with the pole beans while planting, and ended up putting these in my garden bed in late July. I soaked the peas overnight before putting them in the ground. So far, I have had perfect germination, and the young sprouts appear happy. We will see how these perform over the rest of the summer!
