Blue-Tip Half-runner Heirloom Bean Seeds (30 seeds)

This variety is finally back after 2 years of facing varmint damage and re-selecting pods to be true-to-type. I’m super excited about how uniform and beautiful these beans are now though – all with blue tips and remarkably early, yet productive all season.This half-runner bean has an easy ripeness indicator – the tips turn dark blue! Vines are moderately vigorous and are very early to produce loads of plump 5 inch pods. I’ve seen this bean grown without support where it forms a low mound, but quality is better if provided a 6 ft trellis.Flavor is sweet and delicious picked when blue tips form and they are mostly stringless at this stage. Unlike some half-runner beans, this variety does get a little fibrous if pods are allowed to get overripe with large seeds. However, pods seem to hold on the plant fairly well and don’t get overmature too quickly.This variety was given to me by my friend David from Cheat Lake, WV, and from my experience it is superior to other blue-tip varieties available that often have no blue tips and have weak performance.57 days from seed to harvest.
