In the cowpea family but a true vining type that loves to climb a sturdy trellis rather than sprawl across the ground. A pole black bean, incredibly productive for dry beans with 10-12 seeds per pod rather than the typical 5-7. Harvest when pods turn brittle and brown for a shelf stable black bean. Tender perennial in south Florida. Great

This is my first time trying to grow the PR black beans. Had a 100% germination. They grow like crazy. Made a fence so they can climb in the raised beds. I have pepper plants in the same bed as the beans. I may need to move them shorty. They may get lost based on the growth rate I’m seeing from the PR black beans.

I’m very pleased with my purchase. I started about half inside and have replanted them in a pot outside. They are doing great and looking strong and healthy.
