Southern Pea Bush Lady Finger is a treasured heirloom variety tracing back to the 1800s, prized for its delicate, cream-colored pods with distinctive dark eyes and exceptionally tender, sweet flavor. This compact bush variety produces abundant yields in approximately 65 days, making it ideal for both fresh harvest and preservation through freezing or drying. Renowned for outstanding heat tolerance and productivity, Lady Finger peas thrive where many crops struggle, performing exceptionally well on marginal soils. The bushy plants naturally sprawl but require no trellising, though adequate spacing ensures optimal growth. Beyond culinary use, this variety serves multiple agricultural purposes: it's an excellent nitrogen-fixing cover crop that enriches soil with organic matter, suppresses weeds, prevents erosion, and attracts beneficial pollinators and insects. Farmers frequently plant southern peas to restore soil fertility organically before fall crops or as nutritious animal fodder. Our non-GMO seeds maintain 70% or better germination rates and come in sustainable, recyclable packaging that reflects our commitment to environmental stewardship. Whether you're building soil health, seeking reliable warm-season production, or preserving traditional southern cuisine, Lady Finger peas deliver exceptional versatility and performance.
