Phaseolus vulgaris.

Dry bean. Bush bean with runners. 

Variety listed as rare or endangered. 

This bean is great for baking or in soups. The prettiest bean I have! It is very early, so great for our northern climate, and also quite disease resistant. 

Days to maturity: 85 to dry. 

40 seeds per pack. 

Seed starting:

For bush beans, pole beans and runner beans. 

Direct seed in your garden once all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Beans do not tolerate frost. Early June is when we plant around here. Sow seed about 1” deep. Darker coloured seeds tend to germinate better in cooler soils. 

Pole beans and runner beans need something to climb!
