Virginia Peanut Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Virginia peanut is a warm-season annual legume grown for its large-seeded pods that develop underground after flowering. The plant has a low, spreading growth habit with pinnate leaves and small yellow flowers. After pollination, flower stalks grow into the soil where pods form and mature beneath the surface. This variety is commonly grown in warm climates with a long frost-free growing season and performs best in loose, well-drained soil that supports proper pod development.
