Vigna unguiculata 'Haricot Rouge de Burkino Faso'

VERY RARE.
This is another one of those very prolific tiny peas from Africa that grow extremely well with very high yields. These seeds were grown in a sandy area on a parcel I plant cowpeas on, and mulched with straw. The only water they received was rain. There was too much rain the first part of the year and a drought the second half. These peas out yielded all of my other cowpeas (except Gray Speckled Palapye cowpea) at my home garden that were pampered all summer. I only used liquid seaweed to foliar feed the seedlings.

An heirloom from Burkina-Faso, West Africa. Very colorful red-purple pods with deep red seeds. This beautiful variety produces well in extreme conditions. Rare!
