Phaseolus vulgaris
Days to Maturity: 90
These delightful semi-climbing heirloom beans grew well interplanted with our corn. Colorado River Beans can also be grown on their own with or without staking. Also called Mayflower or Amish Knuttle. Eat green when young and tender or as a dry bean.
Planting Instructions: Sow Colorado River Beans directly in the ground 2" deep, 3" apart in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Keep moist until germinated.
Seed Saving Instructions: Allow pods to fully dry on the vine. Pick dried pods into a bin and crush to dislodge beans. Store beans in a paper or mesh bag to ensure they dry fully and remain dry.
