Annual. Vigna unguiculata

30 seeds per packet. 

Classic southern bean. Although it is called a pea, botanically it is actually a bean..but it's only us plant nerds paying attention to that kind of stuff anyway. Grows prolifically, loves heat and full sun here in the PNW. Fixes nitrogen like all beans. Super easy to save seed for next season.

So many delicious recipes to be made with these black + white gems!
