80-95 Days to maturity. Phaseolus coccineus. Akahana Mame Bean Seeds. Non-GMO, annual, open-pollinated, heirloom, pole, shell, Asian bean. Suitable for growing in garden plots, raised beds, and greenhouses. This "flower bean" has red flowers and a deep maroon colored bean with a black background that wrinkles when dried. Grown as a pole bean, this variety produces pods up to 8 inches long with 1-inch long beans. Although less convenient than the bush varieties, pole beans are described as sweeter, bigger, and more abundant with fruits in a much wider harvest window. The gorgeous flowers are a favorite of pollinators, though they are self-fertile. ~100seeds/oz.
