Know before you buy
These are versatile all-purpose beans. They can be harvested young for fresh shelling or left on the vine to dry completely for long-term storage.
Because these are half-runners, they have a somewhat sprawling habit. While they don't require a full-sized trellis like pole beans, they benefit from a small support or extra room to spread out compared to compact bush varieties.
Yes, these seeds were specifically selected for their cold tolerance and ability to mature in shorter growing seasons. They are an excellent choice for gardeners in northern regions with cooler summers.
Yes, these are heirloom, open-pollinated seeds. You can successfully save the seeds from your mature pods to replant in future seasons without losing the variety's characteristics.
Soaking is not strictly necessary, but it can help speed up germination, especially in cooler soil. Simply planting them directly into moist, warm soil after the danger of frost has passed is usually sufficient.
