🌱Planting Instructions 

Approx seeds per order 50

Peas thrive in cool weather, so plant them early in the spring as soon as the soil can be worked. For best results, sow 4–6 weeks before the last frost, when the soil temperature is at least 45°F. Choose a well-drained area to avoid waterlogging from melting snow or heavy spring rains.

Plant seeds 1" deep and 2" apart in rows spaced 12–24" apart. Provide a trellis or support early to avoid disturbing the young roots later. Water lightly, as spring soil often holds enough moisture—only water if plants show signs of wilting. Weed gently to protect the shallow, delicate roots. For a longer harvest, sow additional seeds 6–8 weeks after your first planting.

USDA Zone Map

Little Marvel Garden Peas grow best in USDA Zones 3–9, thriving in the cool weather of spring and early fall. In warmer zones, they should be planted earlier in the season to avoid heat stress, while in cooler zones, they can often produce an extended harvest before summer temperatures rise.
