25+ Fresh Peanut Seeds (Arachis hypogaea) Groundnut for Planting, Gardening

Description: 25++ Peanut Viable Seeds, no huskGermination tested 12/2023, easy to grow. The peanut, also known as the groundnut, goober, pindar or monkey nut, is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics, important to both small and large commercial producers. It is classified as both a grain legume and, due to its high oil content, an oil crop. The peanut is an annual and can either be an erect shrubby plant, 45–60 cm (18–24 inches) high with short branches, or have a spreading form, 30–45 cm (12–18 inches) high with long branches that lie close to the soil. The stems are sturdy and hairy and bear pinnately compound leaves with two pairs of leaflets. The flowers are borne in the axils of the leaves and feature golden-yellow petals about 10 mm (0.4 inch) across. HOW TO GROW FROM SEED:Growing peanuts at home is surprisingly easy, as the plants require minimal care and provide a yield large enough to last you the entire year. When it comes to planting. Plant unshelled seeds (for faster germination 5-7 days) outdoors in the spring after the last frost. Plant the seeds at least 2 inches into the soil. Water once a week and make sure you don't over water your plant. When plants produce a yellow flower (30-40 days) mound soil around the base of the plant so peanut 'pegs' can push into the soil. Seeds can be started indoors prior spring, they require plenty of room, well moisten drainable soil, then transplant when temperatures are steadily warm. Peanut legumes have the peculiar habit of ripening underground, a phenomenon known as geocarpy. After pollination and the withering of the flower, an unusual stalklike structure called a peg grows from the base of the flower toward the soil. The fertilized ovules are carried downward in the sturdy tip of the peg until the tip is well below the soil surface, at which point the peg tip starts to develop into the characteristic pod. The pegs sometimes reach down 10 cm (4 inches) or more before their tips can develop fruits. These unusual fruits appear to function as roots to some degree, absorbing mineral nutrients directly from the soil. The pods may not develop properly unless the soil around them is well supplied with available calcium, regardless of the nutrients available to the roots. Peanut growing requires at least five months of warm weather with rainfall (or irrigation equivalent) of 60 cm (24 inches) or more during the growing season. The best soils are well-drained sandy loams underlain by deep friable (easily crumbled) loam subsoils. *PLANT USES DISCLAIMER* Any information in this listing is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for the advice provided by your physician or other healthcare professional.

Please consult with your doctor or professional herbalist prior any use of this herb/plant. *SEEDS DISCLAIMER* Most specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate. Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times, it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or soil/water/lighting.
