60 days. The best tasting green bean going. These long, round green beans will reach 28 cm in length. Developed in France, these stringless, firm textured beans hold their flavour even when the seeds plump up. Start picking at 18 cm for extra slender beans. Brown seed. 60 seeds per pkt.
65 days. A delicious family heirloom, this tasty bean stays sweet and tender even when old. The flat beans are 1 inch wide by 6-7 inches long and a deep green color. Cook briefly for best flavor, no more than 3-5 minutes, or do what we do and snack on them raw.
54 days. Sweet, flat, yellow beans are ready to pick early in the season and continue to produce until frost. This Italian heirloom has 20-24 cm. long, 2 cm. wide beans on vigorous vines.
55 Days. This is the earliest pole bean we grow. Vigorous vines produce an abundance of tasty, flat, stringless beans with bright green colour. Pods are 20cm long and 2.5 cm wide. Pick often and it will produce until frost. This is the best pole bean we have found for northern gardeners— reliable even in cool summers.
45-55 days. Hummingbirds flock to the abundant bright red flowers that cover sturdy twining vines. Flat, green beans are delicious when picked young. Keep picked for continuous bloom. Provide strings or a trellis and stand back! The vines reach 190-250 cm. Scarlet Runners are a great way to provide shade for a patio or porch. Pkt. 25 seeds
60 days. This Italian heirloom has dark green, purple-veined leaves, lavender flowers and beautiful deep purple beans. It is so pretty you may want to grow it even if you don’t eat a single bean. The slender, stringless 20 cm. beans have a rich beany flavor and an excellent texture. They are produced in profusion from about 60 days and continue until frost.
92 days. One of the oldest varieties we offer, thought to be Native American in origin and listed on Slow Food's
Ark of Taste. This rare heirloom was rediscovered by bean collector John Withee who got it from Mr. Taylor of Steep Falls ME after an 11 year search. The plump, round, deep red beans have a rich full-bodied flavour and bear a striking resemblance to cranberries. Delicious at the shelly bean or dry bean stage. Grows to 2 m.
