Description

Phaseolus vulgaris

HEIRLOOM. This seed stock was sent to us by James Morgan of Marble, NC where he reports that his family has been growing it for generations. In our research, we were surprised to find that is seems to be a prized bean of many families in the Nantahala Valley area. The plants produce numerous, relatively short runners (thus the name “half-runner”), and can produce many pounds of beans per plant. Pick often when beans are small, as they become tough if allowed to mature on the vine. Plants will do best on a short trellis or fence.
