Overview
Heimei No. 1 is an early-maturing, high-yielding cowpea variety specially bred for home vegetable gardens. This vigorous vining plant produces its crop primarily on the main vine, bearing beautiful purple flowers and setting an abundance of long, straight pods.
The pods average 70–80cm in length and can reach up to 100cm. They are straight with no curling, slender, deep green in colour, and exceptionally tender with fine-textured flesh.

Cultivation Guidelines
Provide trellising, staking, or netting for the vines to climb. Plant in a position that receives full sun with well-drained, fertile loamy soil. Incorporate well-rotted organic matter before planting for best results. Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, especially during flowering and pod development. Harvest pods when they have reached full length but before the seeds mature fully – this ensures tender texture and encourages continued pod production throughout the season.
