Peanut Seeds - Black

Peanut seeds grow into low growing annual plants with a spreading, bushy growth habit. These plants are well suited to warm climates with long growing seasons and are commonly cultivated in garden beds and open ground plantings. They adapt best to loose, well drained soil that allows proper underground development and perform well in areas with consistent warmth. When grown from seed, plants establish steadily and are suitable for home gardens where seasonal crop cultivation is practiced.
