Red Skin Peanut Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Red Skin Peanut is a warm-season annual legume grown for its edible seeds that develop underground after flowering. This variety produces pods containing peanuts with distinctive red seed coats and grows in a low, spreading habit. It performs best in warm climates with full sun exposure and well-drained sandy or loamy soils. The plant requires a long frost-free growing period and consistent warmth throughout the season for proper pod development. It is suitable for cultivation in garden beds and open field plantings.
