Tarahumara Tekomari runner bean
$4.00
(Phaseolus coccineous)
Pole, 12’ tall. Brilliant red flowers, followed by beautiful beans which look rather like frosted pebbles. A landrace from the Tarahumara, an Indigenous people from northern Mexico, this bean can be somewhat variable in colour and size, but in my opinion, that only adds to its beauty.
110 days to maturity.
20 seeds/packet.

Plant around the frost-free date; more cold-tolerant than other beans. Sow 1½” deep, 2 to a pole 12” apart. Eat as shelly beans or dry beans; pods are edible, but furry. Make sure the trellis is stout, either poles or twine.
