Our Pretzel Bean Cowpea has an excellent bean flavor. Vigorous twining vines are a plus for gardens with limited space. As easy to grow as standard beans and not bothered by bean beetles. Successful in high temperatures, drought and poor soils. Very productive in more favorable conditions.

Pick young green pods as snap beans, harvest green peas as shelly beans or peas, and let pods dry for dry beans. Soak in water and cook like normal beans only with more nutrients.

Planting Instructions

Cowpeas need warm, well-drained soil and at least 6 -8 hours of full sun. When all danger of frost is past, and the ground is thoroughly warm, plant beans 1.5" deep, every 3 - 4", firming soil over seeds. Water weekly in dry weather. Planting every 3 weeks until midsummer assures a continous supply of beans.
