Growing Information

Be sure to check out our Peanut Growing Guide for more tips & tricks on successfully growing peanuts at home.

Bailey II Peanut should be planted in spring after the last frost. Peanuts grow best in well-drained soil and Seeds should be planted about 4" apart, 1.5" deep along the row. One pound of seed should be sufficient for planting a 100' row. Peanuts have a long date-to-maturity and need at least 4-5 months of frost-free weather to mature properly. Peanuts may be planted with a walk-behind planter like our Hoss Garden Seeder. We suggest using a #6 seed plate and modifying the hole size to match the seed being planted. Peanuts will need adequate water throughout the warm growing season. As a result, drip irrigation is a great option for peanuts. We suggest burying drip tape and planting double rows on each side of the tape. Minimizing leaf moisture will tremendously help to reduce disease pressure.

Germination rate was great! They are being grown in a whiskey barrel container and doing well! Worth the money🫶🏾

Quick germination

It took less than a week to start seeing some growth. I can't wait to see how they taste!

Bailey II

A lot of splits and skins in the bag. I wish there was a treated seed option. Very large seed. I had to glue 2 seed plates together and drill 10 3/4” holes for 5 seed/ft spacing to make a plate for them and replace the seed tube with 3/4” pvc pipe for it to halfway do a decent job of planting them.
Overall I’d buy the seed again, but planting them with a hoss planter is almost impossible without extreme modification.
