Phaseolus vulgaris
Beautiful striped climbing beans--purple, gray and the occasional yellow! Highly productive, especially when started early-- they can climb 10+ feet! Eat as a green bean when young and as a dried bean.
Planting Instructions: Sow directly in the ground 2" deep, 3" apart in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Keep moist until germinated. They need a cornstalk, sunflower stalk, fence or trellis to climb.
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.
Approx 30 seeds/packet.
