Phaseolus vulgaris
Lot# BD23116
This pre-1800 dry 'Heirloom' bean is a great producer of good tasting dry beans with seeds coloured purple to red with white splashes. The plants are compact and stout that grow to 35-45 cm (14-18”) tall with a spread of 38-51 cm (15-18”) wide. They are considered semi-runners that can withstand colder climates. They produce an abundant amount of large oval 13-15 cm (5-6") green shell pods. They mature much earlier than other beans of this type (68 days). For dry beans allow pods to dry on the vine until pressing the beans with your fingernail leaves no indentation. If maturity for dry seeds is threatened, pull plants by the roots and hang them in a dry place to finish or pick pods, shell and finish drying indoors.

Additional Information
Avoid planting in soil that stays consistently damp or wet. We generally plant 3-4 rows at a time and space out rows at 20-25 cm (8-10”) apart. It is perfect because most people can reach across that width. You can grow 3-4 times the amount of heirloom beans in the same space, you reduce the amount of area for weeds, and you'll save on water. It is about 50-60 days for mature beans, 100+ days for dry beans. Beans typically need warm soil of 18°C (65°F) or higher. Grows best in full sun with well watered soil. Regular harvesting of the young pods will ensure a greater yield. Pick frequently for maximum yields, but avoid disturbing foliage in wet weather to prevent spread of fungal diseases. White-seeded beans usually don’t germinate as well as dark-seeded. |
