Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A great snap pea from the Northwest, a good pick if you can't fit in the taller pea vines. 'Cascadia' is a bush type growing to 32” tall – you can support it by sticking short sticks (traditionally prunings from fruit trees) in between the plants. The plants produce lots of 3” pods, sweet & juicy. Perfect snack food & ingredient in stir-fries.
