They are annual plants that you will need to sow each year. Sugar snap pea plants will produce pods up until the first frosts. Occasionally a plant will veer away from the supports, so gently help it back towards them if needed. Add a mulch of Miracle-Gro® Peat Free Premium Fibre Smart™ Mulch in early summer, to conserve moisture, which will help the plant to keep producing more pods.Ĭheck that supports are firmly in the ground, securing them as needed. Sugar snap peas need moist, well drained soil, so water them daily. Shelter plants from strong winds, and keep well watered. Ideally this should be six hours or more each day, so check that they do not become overshadowed by other plants. Make sure that your sugar snap peas receive lots of sun. The supports you use should be strong enough to support the plants as they grow - make sure they don’t wiggle in the ground!.Sugar snap peas climb using tendrils and need a roughly textured surface to scramble up. Insert twigs and sticks (being careful to avoid the delicate roots), a trellis, or canes with netting wrapped around, into the ground.These can be arranged in a row, or a wigwam arrangement shape.
