Knuckle Purple Hull is an heirloom variety of crowder pea produced by the Alabama Agricultural Research Station and released in 1958. Vigorous, bushy plants produce an abundance of mottled purple pods held high above the plants for easy picking. Pods grow 6 to 9 inches long, enclosing large, tightly packed peas, which gives the pods a knuckle-like appearance as they fill out. The crowder-type peas have a buff coloring at fresh shell stage and turn brown at maturity. Knuckle Purple Hull is a popular variety for freezing and also suitable for canning or dry storage. Extremely heat and drought tolerant. Harvests begin approximately 65 days after sowing. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds. Show more
