Bean, New Mexico Cave Pole

Annual. Phaseolus vulgaris
25 seeds per packet.

This bean was reportedly discovered in an Anasazi cave site 1500 years ago. Supposedly, those beans, safely tucked away in a ceramic pot sealed with pine pitch, magically germinated after 1500 years of storage.

While the legend is unconfirmed, these strikingly beautiful beans resemble painted horses and are easy breezy to grow. Heavy yields from climbing vines and a delicious creamy texture make this bean worth growing in every garden.
