Poor Mans Bean SEEDS – Dolichos lablab, Lablab purpureus, Hyacinth bean – Heirloom & Untreated – Perennial Bean

Poor Man’s bean is a short-living perennial bean that grows up to 5 years in a warm climate. Very tasty, easy to grow, and packed with vitamins and minerals. Fresh, still green beans are harvested and used in the same way as green beans. Dried seeds can be used in the same way as other legumes.

The price is for six seeds.

Planting and growing tips: Placing the seeds in water for 24 hours before putting them into the soil will speed up the germination process. Poor Man’s bean is an easy-to-grow plant, that loves the sun and moderate watering, however, the better the soil, the quicker and better it will grow. It doesn’t like to sit in water so a well-drained position is best. All our edibles grow happily and quickly in slightly raised garden beds. The first beans should form within a couple of months after sowing depending on the growing conditions.

Additional notes:
