Groundnut Plant Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Groundnut plant seeds develop into low-growing, spreading annual plants with a unique growth habit where flowering occurs above ground and pods form below the soil surface. These plants are well suited to warm climates and require a long growing season with consistent heat. Groundnuts prefer loose, well-drained sandy soils that allow proper pod development underground. They are commonly grown in garden beds and field plantings where full sunlight and moderate watering support steady growth.
