Make us happy and save some seeds from your crop and keep this amazing heirloom going!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beloved heirloom most prized in Florida, of the bush form so the plants are more compact and upright, not requiring trellising. The peas are small round and white, encased in a short pod. Plants were very abundant, and like all cowpeas- so easy to grow during our warmer months as a cover crop and food crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorrowed from The Utopian Seed Project's page:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery part of the South has its favorite field peas.
