Phaseolus vulgaris
Called a "crazy bean" for how insanely productive these plants are! A hardy and stocky bush bean. At times it even keeps producing after a light frost. Young tender green beans are delicious before strings develop. Dry beans are eaten in soups, refried and any other dish. Their older name was "creaseback." If you are gardening for self-sufficiency, add this resilient 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.
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.
