Description: Sugar Snap Pea ‘Nairobi’ is a vigorous, productive snap pea bred for exceptional flavour and crisp texture. The pods are thick, juicy, and completely stringless, making them ideal for fresh eating or quick cooking.

Plants are relatively compact but produce abundant clusters of uniform pods over an extended harvest window. Nairobi is known for its excellent disease resistance, strong performance in cooler climates, and consistent yields.

A favourite among gardeners and growers, it delivers sweet crunchiness straight from the vine while remaining easy to grow in beds, borders, or containers with support.

How To Grow Sugar Snap Pea Nairobi From Seed: Nairobi pea can be started indoors from March. Using seedling modules or small pots, sow 2 seeds in each cell/pot. When the seedlings establish, thin to leave only the strongest one. Transplant out to the garden 2 to 3 weeks after germination. 

Alternatively, sow directly outside from April onwards, once the soil has warmed.

Support the plants with canes or a trellis if necessary. Pod production starts around 60 days from sowing and will continue if you harvest regularly.
