Mammoth Melting Sugar Snow Pea: Premium Sweetness and Size
Mammoth Melting Sugar snow peas are the showstopper of the edible-pod pea world. These impressive plants produce exceptionally large, tender pods that live up to their name—they practically melt in your mouth. If you're looking for a snow pea variety that delivers both abundance and outstanding flavor, Mammoth Melting Sugar is worth the garden space.
Why Choose Mammoth Melting Sugar?
This variety stands apart for its generous pod size and remarkable sweetness. The pods grow larger than most snow pea varieties, yet remain incredibly tender and crisp when harvested at the right stage. The vigorous plants typically reach 36 to 48 inches tall, producing abundant harvests throughout the season. Mammoth Melting Sugar is also known for its cold tolerance and disease resistance, making it a reliable performer in spring and fall gardens.
The flavor is exceptional—sweet, delicate, and complex. These peas are equally at home in a stir-fry, fresh salad, or enjoyed raw as a garden snack. Their larger pods make them visually impressive on the plate and in the kitchen, adding elegance to any dish.
Growing Mammoth Melting Sugar Peas
Plant seeds directly in the garden in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. These peas thrive in full sun with well-draining soil. Space seeds 2 inches apart and provide a tall, sturdy trellis or fence—these vigorous vines will climb 3 to 4 feet or more. Water consistently and keep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and pod development.
The plants are generally low-maintenance once established. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep roots cool. Watch for flowering to begin around 55 to 65 days after planting.
Harvest for Maximum Tenderness
Begin harvesting when pods are 3 to 4 inches long and still completely flat and tender. Pick regularly to encourage the plant to produce more pods. Mammoth Melting Sugar peas are best enjoyed fresh, though they freeze beautifully for winter use. Their impressive size and exceptional sweetness make them a premium choice for any gardener seeking the finest snow pea experience.

OUR PLEDGE TO YOU
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.
We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. We don't touch that stuff and we never will.
The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.
Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated). Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.
To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
