Pinkeye Purple Hull cowpea beans are a popular southern heirloom variety known for their vibrant purple pods and distinctive pink-eyed seeds. These bushy, productive plants thrive in heat and resist drought, making them ideal for warm climates. Harvest the pods around 70 days, when young and tender for fresh shelling beans, or allow them to mature and dry for storage, around 110 days. They have a rich, earthy flavor perfect for soups, stews, or traditional southern dishes like Hoppin’ John. In addition to their culinary uses, Pinkeye Purple Hull cowpeas improve soil health by fixing nitrogen, making them a valuable crop for sustainable gardening.
I couldn’t wait until spring to try these out and I’m already getting fall beans. Great seeds
I only ordered these recently and it is too late (or too early) to plant them. I will write a review after planting next season.
Fast delivery time and everything ordered was received. So far everything I have ordered has grown well.
Very happy with the seeds and packaging
I’ve planted about 6-8 seeds and all germinated within 3-4 days now hopefully I can keep the rabbits and squirrels away then I’ll have a good harvest. Thanks from Florida.
I just planted them and they look beautiful so far
Excellent Germination!
One of my favorite things to grow is spinach, I grow mostly in containers so I like to try and get as much as possible out of my small garden. This variety definitely does that. I get massive leaves and fill up a gallon sized ziplock bag relatively quickly every week when the harvest begins.
Germination went very well, popped up within a few days. Growing well!
Nice I like it. Its perfect
