Phaseolus, Butter Bean (Pole) 'Christmas Speckled' Heirloom
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun
Description
A strong climber with plentiful wide pods filled with five or six large beans. Beans are light green when young, then develop red speckles. A long warm season will reward you with an abundance of easy-to-shell pods from midsummer until frost.
Plant in well-drained soil in late spring. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 75-95°F. Beans do not tolerate frost. Thinning is not normally necessary. Pick pods regularly, just as they start to fill out the pod.
Phaseolus lunatus
