Ferry-Morse 1451 Cowpea Seeds, Pinkeye, Purple Hull (28 Gram Packet) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
Mature pods grow in bunches for easy picking. When ready for shelling, long pods are deep purple-green and peas are cream-colored with pink or purple eyes. Bushy plants produce heavy crops.

Recommended for warm climate areas. Sow directly in garden in full sun after soil warms. Plant 2 seeds every 3 inches. Thin to 1 plant every 3 inches when they have 4 leaves. Keep soil moist to encourage growth.
