Planting Instructions for Purple Hulled Pinkeyed Cowpea Seeds
Purple Hulled Pinkeyed Cowpeas are a cool weather crop, that like well drained soil and plenty of organic matter to assist with moisture retention. Direct sow Purple Hulled Pinkeyed Cowpeas as soon as soil can be worked in the spring. Plant Pea seeds in full sun, 1-1½” deep, 1 – 2″ apart, in rows 18-24″ apart. Pea seeds should germinate in 6-14 days at 45-75°F. No need to thin plants. Provide a trellis or other support for climbing varieties.
