Pea Seeds for Planting: Snap, Snow, and Shelling Varieties

Peas are one of the first crops you can sow in spring, and nothing beats a pod picked and eaten straight off the vine. Our collection of pea seeds covers sugar snap peas, snow peas, and shelling (English) peas, along with purple and golden-podded varieties that look as good as they taste. Whether you're after crunchy snacking pods for the kids or plump peas for the dinner table, planting peas from seed is fast, inexpensive, and easy even for first-time gardeners.

Pea Seeds for Sale: Sugar Snap, Oregon Sugar Pod, Green Arrow, and More

When you browse pea seeds for sale, it helps to know the three main types. Snap peas have thick, sweet, edible pods and include Sugar Snap, Sweet Gem, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Ann, Cascadia, and SS 141. Snow peas have flat, tender pods that are perfect for stir-fries, and this group includes Oregon Sugar Pod, Blizzard, Oregon Giant, and Mammoth Melting Sugar. Shelling peas are grown for the plump peas inside tough pods, with classics like Green Arrow, Wando, Lincoln, Progress #9, Laxton's #9, and Thomas Laxton.

Plant size varies as much as pod type. Tom Thumb Dwarf stays tiny and compact, while heirlooms like Tall Telephone and Sugar Snap Tall grow into long vines that produce over a long season. For something unusual, try Golden Sweet for yellow pods, Blue Shelling for purple pods, or Spring Blush for pods speckled with purple. Many varieties are heirloom and open-pollinated, so you can save seed from your best plants.

Planting Peas from Seed: Sow Early in Cool Soil

Peas prefer cool weather, so sow seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, a few weeks before your last frost. Plant seeds about an inch deep and one to two inches apart in rows or along a trellis, and expect sprouts within one to two weeks. Peas grow best in well-drained soil with full sun, and they don't need much fertilizer. Because pea seeds for planting go in the ground so early, they free up space for warm-season crops like tomatoes and peppers. The Seedtime planting calendar works out your sowing window from your local frost dates, and the layout planner makes it easy to plan trellis space.

Buy Pea Plant Seeds with One Flat Shipping Rate

When you order pea plant seeds here, you can combine packets from different suppliers in one order and pay one flat shipping rate instead of a separate shipping charge for each supplier. Seedtime members also get discounts on seed packets, so if you're planning a full cool-season garden, compare Seedtime's plans to see what membership includes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I soak pea seeds or use an inoculant?

+

Soaking isn't necessary, and in cold, wet soil it can cause seeds to rot, so plant dry seed unless the weather is warm and dry. A legume inoculant is optional, but it can help plants form nitrogen-fixing nodules, especially in soil where peas or beans haven't grown before. Dust the seeds with inoculant powder just before planting.

How tall should my pea trellis be?

+

Match the trellis to the variety. Tall types such as Tall Telephone and Sugar Snap Tall can climb five to six feet, so give them a sturdy fence or netting of that height. Dwarf varieties like Tom Thumb and Sugar Ann need only a short support of about two feet, or just a few twigs pushed into the soil for the vines to lean on.

When should I pick peas?

+

Pick snow peas while the pods are still flat and you can barely see the peas inside. Snap peas are ready when the pods are plump and crisp. Shelling peas are ready when the pods are full and rounded but still bright green. Harvest every day or two, because picking keeps plants producing, and pods left too long turn starchy and tough.

Why did my peas stop producing in summer?

+

Peas stall when temperatures climb above the mid-70s to 80s, so the spring crop usually finishes by early summer. For a second harvest, sow a fall crop about eight to ten weeks before your first expected frost. Heat-tolerant varieties like Wando can stretch your season a little, and a bit of afternoon shade helps fall plantings get established.

Can I grow peas in containers?

+

Yes. Choose a dwarf variety like Tom Thumb or Sugar Ann, and plant seeds an inch deep in a pot at least 8 to 12 inches deep with drainage holes. Space seeds about two inches apart, add a small trellis or stakes, and water regularly. Containers heat up faster than garden soil, so a spot that gets morning sun and afternoon shade keeps plants productive longer.
