Snow Pea spacing and mature footprint

Space Snow Pea 3 inches apart, measured center to center (8 cm).

The mature spread is about 12 inches (30 cm), so plants set at that distance grow together into a closed canopy over the bed.

Treat 3 inches as a planning baseline — cultivar and local growing conditions shift the final footprint.

Three plants set 0.25 ft apart, center to center; shaded circles show the 1 ft mature spread.
