Bean Seeds, Maggie Flowers Pink Bunch

$4.50

Maggie Flowers Pink Bunch Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris): Produces a productive, tender, delicious, string bean in just six weeks, even in cool spring weather. Pods mature from green to a beautiful pink and produce pink seeds at the dry bean stage. “Bunch” bean is Southern Appalachian for “bush bean," and these beans produce their early crop on convenient, compact plants. Their namesake, Ms. Maggie Flowers of Burkesville, Kentucky remembers neighbors and family members growing these beans at least back to her grandparents' generation. We're proud to offer this rare piece of Appalachian heritage to gardeners everywhere, and hope that many people grow and share them in the tradition and generosity of Maggie Flowers!

In 2013, she connected with Yanna Fishman, a respected WNC seed steward, and forwarded on the box of seeds. In 2014, Yanna contacted Maggie Flowers, who shared more seeds and stories of their history.
