Discover the Blue-Tip Half-runner Heirloom Bean Seeds
Blue-Tip Half-runner Heirloom Bean Seeds are truly a gardener’s delight. These seeds have finally returned after overcoming challenges, and they are now more uniform and beautiful than ever. With their distinctive blue tips, these beans are not only visually appealing but also early-producing, yielding an abundance of plump 5-inch pods throughout the season.
This variety boasts a beneficial ripeness indicator—when the tips turn dark blue, they are ready for harvest. The flavor is sweet and delicious, especially when harvested at this stage, making them a great addition to any dish. If cared for properly, these beans tend to be mostly stringless, enhancing their culinary versatility.
Unlike other half-runner varieties, our Blue-Tip beans hold onto the plant effectively, ensuring a longer harvesting window. Grown without support, they can form a low mound, though quality improves with a 6 ft trellis. This means you can enjoy both aesthetics and productivity in your garden.
These seeds were generously shared by my friend David from Cheat Lake, WV. After growing these beans myself, I can confidently say they outperform other blue-tip varieties in both flavor and robustness. Expect to enjoy your first harvest in just 57 days from seed.
