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.
