Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successful cultivation of your Jumbo Peanut Seeds begins with understanding their basic needs. Peanuts prefer a warm climate, typically thriving in regions with long, hot summers. For optimal growth, plant your peanut seeds for planting after all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures consistently reach at least 65°F (18°C). A planting time of approximately 6 weeks before the last frost for indoor starting, or directly outdoors after frost, is generally recommended. They require full sun, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. A well-draining soil, ideally a sandy loam with a neutral pH (6.0-7.0), is crucial for pod development. Avoid heavy clay soils, which can hinder the pegs (which develop into peanuts) from penetrating the soil. Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod development, aiming for consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Reduce watering as the plants approach maturity. Fertilize sparingly; peanuts are legumes and produce their own nitrogen, so excessive nitrogen can lead to lush foliage but fewer peanuts. A balanced fertilizer with lower nitrogen is ideal if your soil is poor. Watch out for common pests like aphids and leaf spot diseases, treating them promptly with organic solutions if necessary. The cultivating difficulty for these heirloom peanut seeds is considered easy, making them a great choice for many gardeners.
