Heirloom | Dry Bean | Shelling Bean | Pole Habit
A true heirloom treasure, Good Mother Stallard beans are as beautiful as they are delicious. These striking maroon and white speckled beans offer exceptional flavor, making them a favorite among chefs, seed savers, and homesteaders alike. Their rich, meaty texture holds up beautifully in soups, stews, and chili, earning them a reputation as one of the best dry beans you can grow.
This pole variety is a vigorous climber that produces heavy yields of plump pods late in the season. Ideal for vertical growing to save space and make harvests easy. Beans can be harvested young as shelling beans or left to fully dry on the vine for long-term storage.
