Know before you buy
Yes, because these are a pole variety with vigorous climbing vines, they require a trellis, fence, or sturdy poles to grow properly. Providing support ensures the pods stay off the ground and makes harvesting much easier.
These Cannellini beans typically reach maturity in 85 days. You should plan your planting schedule accordingly to ensure they have enough time to finish before your first frost.
Yes, these are certified organic, open-pollinated seeds. They are grown and processed without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
Allow the pods to remain on the vine until they are fully dry and brittle. Once the pods have turned brown and the seeds inside are hard, you can harvest them, shell them, and store them in an airtight container for long-term use.
Sow the seeds 1 inch deep and space them 2 to 3 inches apart. Since they are pole beans, ensure your support structure is in place at the time of planting to avoid disturbing the roots later.
