Dwarf Grey Sugar Pea

Dwarf Grey Sugar Pea is a compact heirloom pea that produces loads of sweet, crisp, flat pods on bushy plants with striking bi-colored purple and pink flowers. The pods average around three inches long and stay tender even as the peas inside begin to plump, offering that satisfying crunch gardeners crave in a good sugar pea.  First released by D.M. Ferry & Company in the late 1870s and once touted as “the most desirable of all the edible pod peas,” this variety has been a staple of American gardens for well over a century. And for good reason—it grows like a charm. Plants reach just 12 to 24 inches tall and are sturdy enough to forgo trellising, though a little support helps keep the pods up off the ground and easier to pick. Dwarf Gray Sugar Peas are probably one of the most versatile peas we offer.  You can harvest them early for tender snow peas, let them plump up into a traditional snap pea, or allow them to dry fully on the vine for use in soups and storage.
