Monkey Nut Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Monkey nut is another common name for peanut, a warm-season annual legume grown for its edible seeds that develop underground after flowering. The plant has a low, spreading growth habit with pinnate leaves and small yellow flowers. After pollination, flower stalks extend into the soil where pods develop beneath the surface. It is best suited for warm climates with a long frost-free growing season and grows well in loose, well-drained soil that supports proper pod formation.
