Vigorous vines grow around 2–2.5 m tall and produce attractive purple flowers, making this a productive and ornamental addition to the cool-season vegetable garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe young pods are tender, crisp and sweet and are eaten whole before the peas inside fully develop. Their generous size makes them excellent sliced fresh into salads or quickly steamed, blanched or stir-fried. Brief cooking preserves their fresh pea flavour and satisfying crunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYakumo’s vigorous climbing habit allows it to produce vertically rather than taking up valuable garden space at ground level. A strong trellis, fence or netting is essential to support the tall vines and make the developing pods easy to harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular picking is particularly important with snow peas. Harvest the pods while they remain flat and tender to encourage the vines to continue flowering and producing over a long period. The purple flowers also add plenty of interest to the garden before the pods develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeas are among the world’s oldest cultivated food crops, originating in the Near East and grown since ancient times. Early peas were primarily harvested and dried for storage, while edible-podded forms such as snow peas were selected for their tender pods and became important vegetables in many cuisines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 3–5 seeds\/g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 50 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Late summer to autumn\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Late summer to autumn\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring, with autumn sowing possible in suitable areas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 20–30 mm deep directly where plants are to grow. Peas generally dislike root disturbance, so direct sowing is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpace seeds approximately 5–10 cm apart and provide a strong, tall trellis, netting or fence at sowing time. Vines can reach approximately 2–2.5 m and require reliable support as they mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Peas tolerate a range of soil types but dislike waterlogged conditions. Maintain consistent moisture during flowering and pod development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest the long pods while they are young, flat and tender, before the peas inside become noticeably swollen. Pick regularly to encourage continued production. For seed saving, leave selected pods on healthy plants until fully mature and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, we cannot send Pea seeds to Tasmania and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46375835271386,"sku":"prefix_681c1f7196dc99.01395374","price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"400g","offer_id":46375835304154,"sku":"prefix_681c1f7196dd22.73995848","price":19.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/V_Pea_Snowpea_Yakumo.jpg?v=1785209534","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/pea-snowpea-yakumo-464","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
