Winfield Pole Lima Bean
25 Seeds
(Phaseolus lunatis) Beautiful heirlooom lima bean originating from Mrs. Winfield of Painted Post, NY sometime in the 1940's. Later sold under the name "North Pole" by Farmer Seed & Nursery Company of Faribault, MN. Vigorous, vining plants produce large, 4" pods bearing up to 3 seeds each. Huge, flat seeds are primarily white with punctate, burgundy speckles concentrated on one end. Yields well even during periods of extreme heat and drought. Very rare. 95 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. Avoid touching plants while leaves are wet as this can spread disease.
