Patio Peanut Plant
Cure your indoor blues with this homegrown patio peanut! This unique variety produces tasty nuts that thrive in a pot and are ready to harvest and eat in September and October. Chosen for their ability to grow and ripen in cool climates, these richly flavored, Valencia-type peanuts are easy to grow in a pot on the patio, porch, balcony or in your garden beds. Peanut plants are very attractive annuals that produce an abundance of yellow peanut flowers that bend to the soil surface and produce 50-100 peanut pods in the soil. Boil or roast your own peanuts or make your own fresh peanut butter! Fresh peanuts are far tastier than anything you’ll find in the grocery store.
