How to Grow:
Sow seeds directly outdoors after soil has warmed fully. Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Cowpeas thrive in heat and tolerate dry conditions once established. Water consistently during germination and early growth. Harvest fresh pods as desired or allow peas to fully mature and dry on the plant for storage. Bush-type varieties need little support and are well suited to raised beds, garden rows, or larger containers.
