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 used revive Rex last year with excellent outcomes. I wanted you to make sure I have it on had for this gardening season.
Delicious and prolific.I'll plant this on repeat!
Grew these for the past three years and I will keep growing them for many more. I highly recommend them. Great germination rate. Every onion grew to the size of baseballs and others a bit bigger and they store very well.Best long day onion I have ever grow.
I am very happy with my heirloom seeds. I cannot wait to germinate them.
Started my seeds on 12/31/25. I’ve had almost 100% germination and the onion seedlings are a couple of inches tall at this point (1/9/26). Looking forward to a great harvest!
