Mississippi Silver Brown Crowder Cowpea

‘Mississippi Silver Brown Crowder’ is an early-producing Southern pea prized for its dependable performance in hot, humid conditions, easy harvesting, and mild, delicate flavor. Plants produce smooth, well-filled pods with a silvery color touched with rose, each packed with uniform, creamy green peas. The pods are held above the foliage, making them easier to spot, pick, and shell.

Start ‘Mississippi Silver Brown Crowder’ indoors about ½ to 1 inch deep, then transplant after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants 1 to 4 inches apart and grow in full sun. This widely adapted variety performs especially well in warm growing conditions.

Ready to harvest in about 62 days, begin picking the 7- to 8-inch pods once the peas inside are plump, fully developed, and still tender.

Creamy, mild, and flavorful, ‘Mississippi Silver Brown Crowder’ is excellent for fresh shelling, traditional Southern dishes, soups, side dishes, and everyday cooking.
