20 Seeds Tennessee Red Peanut Arachis hypogaea Heirloom Legume

Tennessee Red Peanut is a heritage variety of the cultivated peanut, Arachis hypogaea, known for producing two to three reddish-brown skinned seeds per pod. This warm-season annual legume grows as a low, bushy plant and is valued by gardeners for its productivity and attractive foliage. Each pod typically contains two to three kernels with distinctive red seed coats, making it a rewarding crop for home gardens and small-scale growing.
Peanuts are grown both for their edible seeds and as an interesting ornamental edible plant in vegetable gardens. Tennessee Red Peanut performs well in warm climates with a long growing season, producing yellow pea-like flowers that self-pollinate and then peg into the soil to form pods. It can be grown in garden beds, raised beds, or large containers and fits well into crop rotation as a nitrogen-fixing legume.
