(Ready in May)

Native nitrogen fixing vining perennial bean with wild populations in northeast Ohio. This plant is very closely related to Lima beans and could be used in a breeding project to create a perennial bean. This is my first time growing this plant and I plan on putting a few in mostly full sunny areas that are protected from strong winds. Supposedly very shade tolerant. I’m most concerned with a good location to help individuals to overwinter as this plant is probably averse to wet, heavy, soils. Seeds came from Prairie Moon Nursery,
Dry, FS/PS, perennial
Phaseolus polystachios

Cost: $6.00 per 4 inch pot
