Arachis Hypogaea Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Arachis hypogaea is a warm-season annual legume plant grown for its edible seeds that develop underground. The plant has a low, spreading growth habit with pinnate leaves and small yellow flowers. After flowering, the plant produces pegs that grow downward into the soil where pods develop beneath the surface. It performs best in warm climates with a long frost-free growing season and well-drained, loose soil that allows proper pod formation.
