It is typically found in woodland areas, thickets, and moist slopes.
Amphicarpaea bracteata, also known as hog-peanut or ground bean, is a versatile plant that can be found in eastern North America. It is an annual to perennial vine in the legume family and is commonly found in woodland areas, thickets, and moist slopes. The plant has three leaflets and produces pink to white flowers in late summer to autumn. These flowers can either be open for cross-pollination or closed and self-pollinating, with the closed flowers being found above or below ground. The plant produces edible seeds, which can be found in either flat pods or round pods depending on the type of flower. This unique characteristic of producing both above and below ground seeds has earned it the name "peanut." Amphicarpaea bracteata is not only a beautiful addition to the natural landscape, but also a source of food for both humans and animals.

Germination/Propagation Top
Suggest a correction or add new data!| Sow seeds at 20°C, expecting germination within 3 months without further temperature treatment. |
| Requires Soaking: These seeds need to be soaked in warm water until they swell, which can take 24-48 hours. Seeds that float are usually not viable and should be discarded, along with the soaking water. |
