Pisum sativum var. saccharatum 'Cascadia'

There are two main types of pea, dwarf and climbing, the later needing supports. In addition round seeded peas tend to be the hardy varieties and are the early peas; wrinkled seeded being the later type, being second early and main crop. Mange tout are an edible pod variety always best picked young before the seed swells. 'Cascadia' is a sugar snap pea which is best when the pods are about 3" long, and full of sweet, wrinkled little peas. Grows to about 30", so no staking required.
