Virginia Peanut Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Virginia Peanut is a warm-season annual legume grown for its large-seeded pods that develop underground after flowering. The plant produces a low, spreading growth habit with yellow flowers followed by peg formation that enters the soil where pods mature. It is suited for cultivation in warm climates with full sun exposure and well-drained sandy or loamy soils. This variety requires a long frost-free growing period and consistent warm conditions throughout its development cycle for proper pod formation.
