In the cowpea family but a true vining type that loves to climb a sturdy trellis rather than sprawl across the ground. A pole black bean, incredibly productive for dry beans with 10-12 seeds per pod rather than the typical 5-7. Harvest when pods turn brittle and brown for a shelf stable black bean. Tender perennial in south florida. Great for food forests or permaculture application. Saved from local heirloom seed, not available on large commercial seed sites. Please SAVE YOUR SEEDS, we consistently sell out and this is a very hard to source variety.

Packet: 10 seed

Good to start from seed in these months:

North Florida: February-June, September

Central Florida: February-May, September

South Florida: January-May, October

Open Pollinated Heirloom Seeds Selected To Thrive

This is a curated collection of seeds I have found to grow well in Florida over the years. It is designed to take the overwhelm and thought process out of figuring out which varieties to select that will actually grow well here.

Some of the seed is saved from myself and other small local growers for harder to source varieties that you can't find online.

The majority of the seed varieties will come from dedicated seed supply companies like Working Food or Southern Exposure Seed Exchange to keep up with demand. We always prioritize localized seed sources which have a sustainable and equitable business model.
