WEST COAST SEEDS POLE BEANS BORLOTTI
The long vines of this Italian heirloom will grow 20 feet tall if provided support.

  • These produce masses of 15cm (6 inch) pods by late summer, each filled with good, firm cream coloured beans streaked with red.
  • It’s amazing how productive this vigorous climber can be.
  • The beans are easy to shuck and dry, and once reconstituted for winter soups, they are creamy in texture, with a wonderful nutty flavour.
  • Matures in 80 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)

    Starting Pole Bean Seeds

  • Seeds can be started indoors, or sowed directly.
  • Seeds will sprout in 8-16 days, depending on soil conditions.
  • Try to plant during a warm, dry spell. Soil must be warm – if it is not warm enough, seeds may rot, especially our untreated seeds. Optimal soil temperature: 21-32°C (70-90°F).
  • Pole Beans will climb by twining around almost anything. Try rough poles, or a strong trellis 2-2.5m (6-8ft) tall or netting for vining plants.


    Companion Planting For Beans

  • Beans fix nitrogen in the soil. Plant with Brassicas, carrots, celery, chard, corn, cucumber, eggplant, peas, potatoes, radish, and strawberries.
  • Avoid planting near chives, garlic, leeks, and onions. Pole beans and beets stunt each other's growth.
