Southern Pea Mississippi Purple is a semi-erect, bush-type cowpea reaching about 24 inches tall with compact foliage and striking lavender flowers. This high-yielding heirloom variety produces large brown seeds enclosed in reddish-purple pods that shell easily at the green stage and develop deep purple coloring when fully mature. Each pod contains approximately 14 seeds, making this an exceptionally productive choice for home gardeners and small-scale growers. With a maturation period of around 65 days and an 80% or higher germination rate, Mississippi Purple delivers reliable performance in diverse growing conditions. The concentrated harvest window allows for efficient gathering and processing. These Non-GMO seeds are sustainably produced and packaged in environmentally responsible materials, aligning with conscientious gardening practices. Whether you're preserving heirloom genetics or seeking a dependable, prolific cowpea variety, Southern Pea Mississippi Purple combines traditional growing characteristics with modern seed quality standards.
