Phaseolus vulgaris
Lot# BB23000
Black Valentine bush bean was introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1897. It produces excellent quality beans that are 14-16 cm (5½-6½") long. Pods are straight, tender and flavorful and almost round. They are ideal for table use, freezing and canning as they retain their flavor when processed. Plants are compact bushes around 40-45 cm (16-18") tall with a spread that averages 30-40 cm (12-16”) wide. For dry beans, leave pods on the vine to dry and pick when you can hear the beans rattle inside the pods, in about 70-100 days.

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. 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. |
