'Sugar Daddy' snap peas are an early-producing, stringless variety, prized for their sweet, crisp, 3-inch pods that are ideal for snacking or adding to various dishes like salads, stir-fries, and soups. Developed by Dr. Calvin Lamborn, the creator of the first edible-podded snap pea, 'Sugar Daddy' was designed with enhancements over its predecessors, including more compact 24-30 inch bush vines that don't require staking. This variety produces high yields of deep green pods within about 60 to 74 days.
'Sugar Daddy' plants are also highly resistant to common pea diseases such as powdery mildew and pea leaf roll virus. Each plant node can produce double pods filled with sweet, nutty-flavored peas that are hard to resist eating fresh from the vine. Though support isn't necessary, a short fence or trellis can help with locating pods for harvest.
Although the name or description of this variety refers to a modern company's name, the seed we are offering is in no way sourced from, "owned by" or connected with that company. The name is simply the historically accurate, common name for the variety giving credit to the seedsmen that originally released it.
