Amazingly drought resistant.
During last years very dry weather in the Ozarks I abandoned a part of my veggie garden in early July. Most of the plants were dead in 2 weeks. The blackeye peas stopped growing but remained green. When the rains returned in August the blackeye peas resumed growing and had a fine crop of wonderful peas.

The blackeye pea is the standard among cowpeas. No southerner would be caught without a mess for New Years dinner. It is suppose to bring luck. The fact that they taste good and will produce under all types of conditions probably helps. There are several cultivars in this group. I currently grow California #5 which is slightly larger than the Ramshorn which I grew for years. Flavor is the same.
