    • Species and varieties: Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a versatile legume with several varieties including black-eyed peas, southern peas, and yardlong beans. These varieties are known for their adaptability to different growing conditions and their nutritional benefits.
    • Hybrid or heirloom: Cowpea seeds can be both hybrid and heirloom. Heirloom varieties are often preferred for their traditional taste and resilience, while hybrid varieties may offer improved disease resistance and yield.
    • Pruning and training: Cowpeas generally do not require extensive pruning. However, regular harvesting of pods can encourage continuous production. Training may be necessary for varieties like yardlong beans that grow as vines.
    • Fertilization needs: Cowpeas benefit from a balanced fertilizer, especially in soils low in nitrogen. Since they are legumes, they can fix their own nitrogen, reducing the need for nitrogen-rich fertilizers. A soil test can help determine specific fertilization needs.
    • Hardiness zones: Cowpeas are best suited for USDA hardiness zones 8-11. They thrive in warm climates and can tolerate drought conditions better than many other legumes.
    • Climate requirements: Cowpeas require a warm growing season with temperatures between 70-95°F (21-35°C). They are drought-tolerant but need well-drained soil and full sun exposure for optimal growth.
