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.
Very easy to grow and got so many beans!
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
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
