Our reading written by Cowpea Seeds
Pinkeye Purple Hull BVR is a pinkeye pea with a purple pod, and the BVR in its name lines up with what the sources print about it: Oklahoma lists resistance to blackeye cowpea mosaic virus, Mississippi State describes resistance to the same virus, and Arkansas's table prints Bacteria Virus in its disease resistance or tolerance column.
On plant habit the sources disagree. Oklahoma and the Lubbock guide call it vining, while Arkansas describes a low, bushy, purple hull type. Arkansas prints 75 days to maturity and the Lubbock guide 90 to 95. Alabama lists it among its pinkeyes for home gardens.
