Another great cowpea variety for homestead gardeners, Rice Peas deserve their space in your garden. Productive plants are vigorously bushy with some runners that twine betwixt themselves (occasionally reaching over to a neighbor...) Slender pods are held above the leaves on stalks four to a peduncle.
