Earthnut Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Arachis hypogaea is a warm-season annual legume commonly known as earthnut, grown for its edible seeds that develop underground after flowering. The plant forms a low, bushy structure with yellow flowers, followed by peg formation that pushes into the soil where pods mature. It is suitable for warm climates with full sun exposure and well-drained sandy or loamy soils. This crop requires a long frost-free growing period and steady warm temperatures throughout its development for successful growth.
