Black Eyed Peas Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Black-eyed peas seeds produce warm-season annual plants with a bushy to semi-vining growth habit and compound leaves. These plants are well adapted to hot climates and perform best in warm conditions with a long growing season. Black-eyed peas thrive in full sunlight with well-drained soil and moderate watering, and are known for their tolerance to heat and drought once established. Suitable for garden beds, farms, and container cultivation, they establish quickly and produce pods throughout the season.
