This crowder type bush variety will send out runners but typically maintains a nice bush form which doesn't require trellising. Very productive and bears lovely reddish-purple colored pods that are on top of the plant, which is great for easy picking!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pods are at first a bright green, and then turn color as they mature. Easy to shell green or dried. Great variety for fresh eating and preserving for later frozen fresh, or dried seeds (which should also be frozen due to the prevalence of bean weevils!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCowpeas are great for our climate as they grow in the hottest months, build soil, add nitrogen to the soil when used as a cover, and they have great tasting edible and very nutritious protein rich beans!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Working Food Seed \u0026 Merch Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304249151677,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/1734\/5725\/files\/misspurp3.jpg?v=1776973768","url":"https:\/\/workingfoodseeds.org\/products\/mississippi-purple-hull-cowpea-bush","provider":"Working Food ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
