There is a large morphological diversity found within the crop, and the growth conditions and grower preferences for each variety vary from region to region. However, as the plant is primarily self pollinating its genetic diversity within varieties is relatively low. Cowpeas can either be short and bushy (as short as 20 centimetres (7.9 in)) or act like a vine by climbing supports or trailing along the ground (to a height of 2 metres (6.6 ft)). The tap root can penetrate to a depth of 2.4 metres (7.9 ft) after eight weeks. The size and shape of the leaves varies greatly, making this an important feature for classifying and distinguishing cowpea varieties. Another distinguishing feature of cowpeas are the long 20–50 centimetres (7.9–19.7 in) peduncles which hold the flowers and seed pods. One peduncle can support four or more seed pods. Flower colour varies through different shades of purple, pink, yellow and white and blue.
