Black Valentine Bush Bean, 50 Heirloom Seeds Per Packet, Non GMO Seeds

Phaseolus vulgaris "Black Valentine"

Black Valentine Bush Beans are a type of heirloom bean that is known for its unique color and flavor. These beans are a deep, glossy black color, and they have a rich, meaty flavor that is often described as "earthy" or "nutty."

These beans are typically planted in the spring or early summer and prefer well-drained soil and full sun exposure. They are bush beans, which means they do not require support to grow and can be easily harvested by hand. Black Valentine Bush Beans can be harvested in about 60 days and are best picked when they are young and tender.

Black Valentine Bush Beans are versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes. They can be sautéed, steamed, roasted, or used in soups and stews. They are also a good source of protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients.

Planting Instructions

Plant bean seeds after all danger of frost has passed, and soil temperature is 48F minimum. Plants need 6-8 hours sunlight per day. Sow seeds 1" deep, 4-6" apart, in rows that are 2-3' apart. Seeds may be started indoors.

Water deeply and regularly. Weed carefully as they have shallow roots.

Beans mature all at the same time and must be harvested at once. If allowed to sit longer than a day or two, the flavor suffers.

Plant a new crop every two weeks for a continuous harvest. Bush beans may be grown in containers.
