Listing is for 3 Seed Pods that average 1-3 seeds each. Schronce's Deep Black Peanut is grown for its unusually dark seed skins and its distinctive, collector-worthy look when shelled. The plants form a low, bushy habit, and like all peanuts follow a fascinating growth pattern where flowers form above ground and then send pegs down into the soil to develop pods.

This variety needs a long warm season, loose soil, and steady moisture early on so the plant can establish before pegging begins. Once flowering is underway, keep the bed weed-free and avoid deep cultivation that might disturb developing pegs and pods. As the plant matures, reduce watering slightly so pods can finish and dry more cleanly.

Harvest is typically done by lifting the whole plant and allowing pods to dry thoroughly in an airy, sheltered place. Schronce's Deep Black is often noted for strong productivity in suitable conditions and for its dramatic kernel color compared with standard types. For gardeners who like unusual seed traits and hands-on harvests, this is a standout peanut that turns the end-of-season shelling into the main event.
