Heirloom California Black Eyed Pea #5 Seeds - High Yield, Heat Tolerant, & Easy to Grow
Vigna unguiculata
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 20 seeds
California Black Eyed peas #5 is a type of cowpea which was first domesticated in Africa and remains a staple worldwide. Exceptionally resilient, black-eyed peas thrive in dry, sandy soil and hot climates, making them perfect for low-maintenance gardens. In addition to requiring minimal water, these plants naturally enrich the soil by affixing nitrogen from the air into the soil. California Black Eyed Pea #5 has a sweet flavor and creamy texture. It is also known to be nematode resistant, making it a good edible crop choice to grow during the summer when nematode activity is at its height.

Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
