Phaseolus vulgaris
An enchanting mix of three extraordinary bush bean varieties. Purple “Fundy Amethyst”, bred by Owen Bridge of Annapolis Seed in Nictaux, Nova Scotia. “Candy”, a large pink and red striped semi-runner and “Uncle Willie’s” with burgundy and cream mottled beans and hot pink pods! What a fun surprise it is to harvest and thresh these beautiful gems!
Growing Instructions:
Direct sow after last frost.
Plant spacing: 4” to 6” apart
Row spacing: 15” to 18” apart
Beans fix their own nitrogen so fertilizer should not be too rich or there will be too much foliage at the expense of pods. A well-balanced, well-cured compost and a sprinkle of wood-ash should be adequate. Make sure soil pH is between 5.8 and 7.0.
