Stolons

Perennial Peanut Stolons

Perennial Peanut Bulk Stolons (mini-plants) sold by the pound–freshly harvested day of pick up, and ready to plant for $ 0.67 per square foot.

Best results are same or next day planting. Minimum order is 20 pounds for $100–this covers approximately 150 sq. feet.

Customers bring plastic tote or heavy – duty trash bags to transport wet stolons.

Watch our no-dig planting tutorial


B I G Mahalo to All for considering Perennial Peanut as a sustainable, regenerative groundcover! BIPP offers this guide based on our experience of planting 7 acres of Peanut on our off-grid Homestead. We found it was laborious to dig holes and trenches, costly to hire help, very slow to fill in uniformly, and then weeds sprouted in all the empty spaces between plants. Through many experiments, we practiced and discovered a no-dig planting style that is fast, easy, inexpensive and F U N ! InJoy and watch the Peanut Grow.

with Love, Big Island Perennial Peanut
