65 days. Vigna unguiculata. Open Pollinated. Iron & Clay Cowpeas. This bush plant produces heavy yields of cowpeas. Unlike other cowpea varieties, iron and clays continue to grow and produce forage after the seed has dropped. Excellent for baking, soups, dried beans, and canning. It can also be planted in fields to attract deer and game birds. Deer love these cowpeas. Quail & other game birds relish the seed if the plant is allowed to seed. Drought Tolerant. An excellent choice for home gardens. A variety from the USA.

Cowpea Seed Planting Information:

Plant your cowpeas outdoors directly in the garden after your last frost date. Germination is improved when soil temperature is above 65 F. Cowpeas require a long growing season with 4 months of warm days. They are drought resistant and basically can grow anywhere corn can grow. Plants can grow 8 to 36" tall.

Warning: Do not plant in cold wet soil or you may experience poor germination!

Soil Requirements:

Requires rich fertile soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply much and grass clippings, or straw around base of plant.

Water Requirements:

Beans do not like soil that is too moist. Water during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use RootBlast, Vegetable Alive, and Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle Gro.

Harvest Tips:

Cowpeas can be harvested at any time, but are most often used as a green mature bean. Also grown and used as a dried bean. Frequent harvesting also encourages plant to produce more pods.
