Category: Seeds

An heirloom gem saved by seed savers for generations, this heirloom semi-climbing bean from the UK is the most cold tolerant variety available and was known to survive early frosts. Not only is this a hardy gem, the beans themselves are also stunning, looking almost as though each has been hand-painted. Pods are tough, but the beans themselves are tender while young or suitable for drying.

Grace ★★★★★

The frost resistance is no joke—mine survived a surprise dip to 29°F that killed my other beans outright. These semi-climbers took off once the soil warmed, and the fact they’re an heirloom saved for generations makes them feel special to grow.

Christopher Z. ★★★★★

I planted these in late August expecting nothing, but the semi-climbing vines kept producing right through a light October frost. The pods stayed tender and stringless even after that cold snap—definitely the hardiest bean I've grown.

Matthew ★★★★★

The cold tolerance is no joke—mine survived a surprise late frost that killed my neighbor’s regular beans outright. The semi-climbing habit kept them tidy on a simple trellis, and I’ve already saved seeds for next year.
