Arachis Arachis hypogaea

A wonderful ground cover plant. Bill Whitman has this covering his entire estate! Helps choke out weeds and it is an attractive plant as well. I'm wondering if I could plant it in my greenhouse and let it spread.

Hello! Thank you very much for your inputs! i have found that this plants is not the peanuts producer but its relative Arachis pintoi, my plants do not produce the nuts.

As Ohiojay sais, it is a wonderful groundcover and has a wide and fast spread.

Cheers,

A cv. of A. pintoi called 'Golden Glory' is becoming popular in Hawaii:

Here is a link that might be useful: Golden Glory

It is used here extensively in Costa Rica for erosion control on coffee plantations. Called 'Arachis pintoi' or Mani forajero, manicito, Perennial peanut is a suberd groundcover. Does well in extreme dry conditions.
Studies done in here have found that beef and milk production has increased where livestock is pastured in a grass/Arachis forage combination.
Also looks great....like a field of buttercups.
