Heirloom Bean Seeds

🫘 Traditional Flavour & Productivity

Heirloom beans are a gardener’s treasure, offering an incredible diversity of colours, shapes, and textures that you rarely find in supermarkets. From tender, snap-ready bush varieties to vigorous, high-yielding pole beans, these seeds represent generations of selection for superior taste and reliability.

Growing Essentials: Beans thrive in warm, well-drained soil once the danger of frost has passed. They are nitrogen-fixers, meaning they actually enrich the soil as they grow, making them an excellent choice for garden rotation.
Sowing: Direct sow seeds 3–5 cm deep once the soil is warm. For a continuous harvest, plant bush varieties every two weeks; pole varieties will continue to produce heavily over a long period if kept picked.
Support: Provide sturdy trellising or poles for vining types to ensure high yields and easy harvesting. Bush varieties are compact and perfect for smaller spaces or containers.
Care: Keep soil moist, especially during flowering and pod development. Avoid working around the plants when the foliage is wet to help prevent the spread of diseases.
Harvesting: Pick pods frequently when young and tender. Regular harvesting signals the plant to continue producing, ensuring a bounty throughout the season.
