==== Virginia group ====<!-- This section is linked from [[Virginia peanut]] -->
The large-seeded Virginia group peanuts are grown in the US states of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and parts of Georgia. They are increasing in popularity due to the demand for large peanuts for processing, particularly for salting, confections, and roasting in shells.

Virginia group peanuts are either bunch or running in growth habit. The bunch type is upright to spreading. It attains a height of {{convert|45|to|55|cm|in|abbr=on}}, and a spread of {{convert|70|to|80|cm|in|abbr=on}}, with {{convert|80|to|90|cm|in|abbr=on}} rows that seldom cover the ground. The pods are borne within {{convert|5|to|10|cm|in|frac=2|abbr=on}} of the base of the plant.

Cultivars of Virginia-type peanuts include 'NC 7', 'NC 9', 'NC 10C', 'NC-V 11', 'VA 93B', 'NC 12C', 'VA-C 92R', 'Gregory', 'VA 98R', 'Perry', 'Wilson, 'Hull', 'AT VC-2' and 'Shulamit'.
