Pink Tip Greasy Bean
25 Seeds
(Phaseolus vulgaris) Very popular old Appalachian greasy bean originating from Haywood County, North Carolina. The name Pink Tip refers to the pigmentation of the blossom end that develops as the beans dry down on the vine. Plants produce enormous yields of short, fat beans with a shiny hull that is characteristic of all greasy beans. Beans do need to be destrung, but we find it well-worth the effort as the incredible flavor and substance of these beans sets them apart from traditional stringless varieties. Matures a couple weeks later than our other greasy beans and may not be suitable for those in the northernmost climates. We would instead recommend Pine Mountain Greasy for those gardeners. White seeded. 85-90 days to harvest. 25 seeds per packet.
CULTURE: After danger of frost has passed, sow seeds 4-6" apart, 1" deep in rows 24-36" apart. Plants require trellising. Under ideal conditions, germination will occur in 7-10 days. For highest yield, harvest regularly. Avoid touching plants while leaves are wet as this can spread disease.
