Dallas Edwards Bean, Heirloom

Default Title

Renee's Garden - Juicy-sweet and meaty with a wonderful crunchy texture, Musica is the earliest, most productive pole bean we’ve ever grown. Best of all, these broad, flat, 7 to 9-inch long pods have an unsurpassed rich flavor. Bred originally for European home gardeners, Musica’s vigorous, robust vines climb quickly and effortlessly and produce heavily. Keep these plump, great-tasting pods picked and plants will pump out more beans than you thought possible. Characteristics: Organic Juicy-sweet, long flat beans Rich flavor and crunchy texture Instructions - In spring once the weather is warm and night temperatures stay securely above 55°F (13°C), plant seeds in well-worked, fertile soil in full sun. Erect strong stakes, tripod poles, or trellis at planting time to support vines. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart along a trellis, or if planting around tripods or stakes, plant 4 to 6 seeds 4 inches from each pole, thinning seedlings to 3 best plants. Tender, crispy beans are an easy, reliable crop to grow, but don’t plant too early because it will prevent good germination. Musica vines are heavy bearing, so harvest often: the more you pick, the more beans plants will produce. Harvest when beans are 7-9 inches long, but before seeds are swelled in pods. Plant in: May-June for cold winters or April-July for mild winters Full sun Sow Seeds: 4" apart, 1" deep 5-10 days to germinate Days to Harvest: 62 Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute suppliers due to availability.

Malibu Pole Bean: The California Stringless Classic Experience the perfect balance of modern reliability and heirloom quality with the Malibu Pole Bean. At Firefly Farm & Mercantile, we selected this variety for its refined "filet-style" texture and its exceptional performance on a trellis. If you love a bean that stays tender and crisp without the chore of de-stringing, the Malibu is a must-have for your summer garden. 📜 History & Heirloom Status The Malibu is a celebrated modern heirloom. While it doesn't trace back to the 1800s like some of our other varieties, it has earned its place in the heirloom category as a stable, open-pollinated variety that has been a favorite of organic growers and market gardeners for decades. First Listed: The Malibu variety first began appearing in specialty seed catalogs in the late 1980s. My friend Craig shared the stock he purchased from Sustainable Mountain Agriculture Center. Origin: It is most likely from the Southern Appalachian region. Wayne and Charlene Moss shared it with the Sustainable Mountain Agriculture Center and they have made it available for planting. Heritage: Because it is open-pollinated, gardeners have been saving and replanting Malibu seeds for over 30 years, adapting it to various microclimates across North America. 🎨 Visual & Culinary Profile The Malibu is often referred to as a "pole-grown filet bean" because of its elegant, slender appearance when picked young. However, this bean is very good when the beans start toi develop. The Pods: These beans produce straight, dark-green pods that typically reach 6 to 7 inches in length. They are uniform, smooth, and remarkably beautiful on the vine. Stringless Character: One of the Malibu's best traits is that it is completely stringless. Even if you miss a harvest day and the pods get a bit larger, they remain tender and snap cleanly without any fibrous "string" to remove. The Flavor: Expect a sweet, "beany" crunch with a delicate texture. It is the ideal variety for fresh eating, light steaming, or "Dilly Bean" pickling. 🌿 Garden Performance This is a vigorous climber that focuses its energy on heavy production. It is known for having a "concentrated" set, meaning it produces a massive amount of beans over a steady period. Feature Details Type Pole Bean (Stringless Snap) Status Heirloom (Open-Pollinated) Days to Maturity 60–70 Days Pod Style Slender, Round, Dark Green Vine Height 6 to 8 feet ✨ Why We Love It at Firefly Farm "The Malibu is the bean we recommend to gardeners who want the high yields of a pole bean and the ease of a stringless bean. It brings a bit of California sunshine to any garden, and the fact that it’s stringless makes it a favorite for families with kids who love to help in the kitchen!" 👨🌾 Cultivation Notes Malibu beans thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Because they are heavy producers, ensure your trellis is sturdy. Harvesting Tip: For the best "gourmet" quality, pick the pods when they are about the thickness of a pencil. This keeps the plant producing new blossoms and ensures you get the sweetest flavor possible. But it's ok if they thicken up a little too. Bring gourmet quality to your trellis.

Malibu Stringless Pole Bean, Heirloom

🐍 Rattlesnake Pole Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) A legendary performer in the vegetable garden, the Rattlesnake Pole Bean is a heritage favorite that combines striking visual beauty with rugged reliability. Known for its distinct purple-streaked pods and its ability to thrive where other beans wilt, this variety is a "must-have" for gardeners seeking both high yields and heirloom charm. 📜 Historical Origin The Rattlesnake Pole Bean is a venerable Native American heirloom with origins specifically attributed to the Hopi people of the Southwest United States. As a crop developed within the Hopi tradition of "dry farming" in the high desert, it was bred for resilience. Its extraordinary ability to withstand intense heat, wind, and periods of drought is a direct legacy of its Southwestern heritage. While it was later adopted and popularized by gardeners in the American Southeast—who valued its performance in humid heat—it remains a testament to the sophisticated agricultural practices of the Hopi Nation. Its name honors the dark, serpentine purple markings that camouflage the pods against the vine. 📊 Product Specifications Feature Details Type Pole / Climbing Heirloom Days to Maturity 60–75 Days Pod Length 7–8 inches Color Green with dark purple "snake" streaks Plant Height 8–10 feet (Requires support) Environment Full Sun; excels in high-heat and arid conditions Seed Appearance Buff-colored with dark brown splashes ✨ Key Features Southwest Resilience: Specifically bred to survive and produce in the scorching mid-summer sun that causes other varieties to drop their blossoms. Vigorous Growth: These vines are aggressive climbers, quickly covering trellises, fences, or cornstalks (making them a perfect component for a "Three Sisters" garden). Stunning Aesthetics: The pods feature a dramatic contrast of deep purple over bright green, making them as much an ornamental feature as a food source. Heavy Producer: This variety is known for a "continuous harvest" cycle—the more you pick, the more it produces until the first frost. 🍽️ Flavor Profile & Culinary Uses The Rattlesnake bean is widely regarded as one of the best-tasting pole beans available. It possesses a rich, sweet, and nutty flavor that is far more complex than standard grocery store varieties. Culinary Note: The purple streaks are water-soluble. When blanched or steamed, the purple markings disappear, and the bean transforms into a solid, vibrant emerald green. Snap Stage: Harvest at 5–6 inches for the most tender, stringless experience. Dry Stage: If left to mature, the seeds become excellent "soup beans" with a creamy texture that holds up well to slow cooking. 🌱 Growing Tips Soil & Sowing: Plant after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has reached at least 65°F (18°C). They thrive in well-drained soil. Vertical Support: Provide a sturdy trellis or cattle panel at least 7 feet high. These vines are heavy and will lean on weak supports. Spacing: Sow seeds 1 inch deep, spaced 3 inches apart along the base of your support system. Traditional Planting: In the spirit of its origins, it grows beautifully alongside corn, using the stalks as a natural trellis. 📦 Why Choose Rattlesnake Beans? Whether you are gardening in the arid Southwest or the humid East Coast, the Rattlesnake Pole Bean is an unbeatable choice. It is a piece of living history from the Hopi people that provides a massive harvest with minimal fuss.

Rattlesnake Pole Bean, Heirloom, Organic

🫘 Connecticut Wonder Pole Bean A "Gift from the Bees" — The 1919 Bolton Heirloom Experience a true miracle of natural selection with the Connecticut Wonder Pole Bean. This rare heirloom is not the product of a laboratory, but a "gift from the bees" discovered in the early 20th-century garden of a Connecticut clergyman. Known for its vigorous climbing habit and its juicy, old-fashioned sweetness, the Connecticut Wonder is a high-yielding snap bean that captures the flavor of a bygone era. For the gardener who values deep historical roots and the magic of nature’s own breeding, this is an essential addition to the trellis. 📜 Historical Heritage: The Reverend’s Discovery The story of the Connecticut Wonder began in Bolton, Connecticut, sometime prior to 1919. The original steward, Reverend Frank Abbott, noticed a unique bean growing in his garden that was unlike any other. He told his granddaughter, Deborah, that the plants were a result of cross-pollination by the local bees. Believing it to be a natural cross between Kentucky Wax and Cranberry Pole beans, the Reverend named the variety Connecticut Wonder. The family carefully preserved these seeds for over half a century. In the mid-1970s, Deborah passed the family treasure to legendary bean collector John Withee, who officially donated them to the Seed Savers Exchange in 1981. Today, it stands as a testament to the Abbott family’s stewardship and the unintentional brilliance of a Bolton bee. ✨ Product Highlights Unique Maturation: The vines produce beautiful white flowers followed by succulent green pods that mature to a striking pale yellow. Classic Heirloom Flavor: The pods are famously sweet and juicy, with the slight stringiness that is the hallmark of traditional, full-flavored snap beans. Stunning Seeds: Inside the mature pods are large, shiny, dark-brown, kidney-shaped seeds that are as beautiful as they are productive. Vigorous Pole Habit: A strong, athletic climber that quickly covers a trellis, providing a heavy harvest over a long season. Resilient & Proven: A New England survivor that has been consistently productive for over 100 years. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Scientific Name Phaseolus vulgaris Original Steward Rev. Frank Abbott (Bolton, CT) History Pre-1919 "Natural Cross" Plant Type Pole Bean (Snap) Days to Maturity 60–70 Days Seed Appearance Large, Shiny, Dark-Brown, Kidney-shaped Flowers Brilliant White 🌱 How to Grow Connecticut Wonder Pole Beans 1. Sowing the Seeds:As a variety born in the Northeast, this bean is well-adapted to temperate climates but loves the summer sun. When: Direct sow outdoors once the soil is warm (65°F+) and all danger of frost has passed. Depth: Sow seeds 1 inch deep. Support: These are strong, heavy climbers. Ensure your trellis, cattle panel, or poles are in place at the time of planting. 2. Maintenance: Spacing: Space seeds 4–6 inches apart along your support. Watering: Provide consistent moisture, particularly when the white flowers begin to bloom and pods start to set. Sun: Needs a location with Full Sun to develop the high sugar content that makes the pods so "sweet and juicy." 3. The Harvest: Snap Stage: For the best culinary experience, harvest the green pods when they are plump but before they transition to pale yellow. Seed Saving: To carry on the Reverend's legacy, allow some pods to stay on the vine until they turn pale yellow and then brittle brown. The dark-brown, shiny seeds inside will be ready to save for next year's garden. 🥗 Culinary Inspiration: The Old-Fashioned Snap The Connecticut Wonder is best enjoyed simply. Because the pods are so naturally juicy, they are excellent when steamed lightly and tossed with butter and a pinch of salt. The slight stringiness adds a traditional "bite" and texture that is highly prized by those who prefer the robust character of authentic heirloom beans over modern, "mass-market" varieties. Garden Tip: Plant these in a spot where you can observe the bees! It’s a wonderful reminder of the history of this bean to see the descendants of the pollinators that first "created" this variety over a century ago. 🫘🐝✨

Connecticut Wonder Bean, 1919 Heirloom, Organic options available

Cobra Pole Bean - 1931 French Heirloom. Grows 6-7' in a season, has light purple flowers and we harvest beans between 6-8" long during the season. This is best as a snap bean so keep harvesting to prevent them from getting too big. It is similar to Seedsaver's Exchange Climbing French which we also grow every few years but is a bit more round vs a flatter bean. We love French style pole beans and Cobra does well for us. It took about 2-3 seasons for the beans to really adapt to our zone 4 climate. They are good for producing in the latter half of summer. Pick while thin and young as they do get a string as they mature and become a little tougher. But while thin, they are tender, crisp and juicy. Cobra can be found in European gardens. Excellent for fresh eating Snap bean Lilac flowers Pole habit 65-75 days Instructions - Sow seeds outdoors after danger of frost has passed and soil and air temperatures have warmed.

West Virginia Heritage Pink Butterbean: Esther Henry’s Appalachian Rarity At Firefly Farm & Mercantile, we are honored to preserve varieties that represent the soul of regional gardening. Shared with us by Esther Henry of West Virginia, the West Virginia Heritage Pink Butterbean is a "hidden gem" of the Appalachian Mountains. Not found in any commercial catalog, this rare pole bean is a culinary workhorse that transforms in color and flavor through every stage of growth. 📜 The Story: A West Virginia Mountain Treasure This variety is the definition of a true family heirloom. It originated in the ruggedly beautiful Appalachian Mountains and has been grown organically, saved, and selected by Esther Henry in her own garden for many years. In the Appalachian tradition, the term "Butterbean" refers to the bean’s incredible, rich texture rather than its botanical family. Until now, this bean was only available to those lucky enough to know Esther. By planting these seeds, you are helping to keep a unique mountain legacy alive. 🎨 The "Chameleon" Bean: Three Stages of Harvest The West Virginia Heritage Pink Butterbean is a fascinating variety that undergoes a dramatic visual transformation as it matures: The Snap Stage (Yellow): Early in the season, the pods are a beautiful, tender yellow. At this stage, they are celebrated for a succulent flavor that "tastes like butter." The Canning Stage (Pink): As the pods mature, they undergo a stunning change, turning a deep, vibrant pink. Esther notes that these make the "best canned beans you’ve ever tasted," holding their rich flavor and firm texture perfectly through the canning process. The Dry Stage (Brown): Once fully matured, the pods become brittle and split open easily to reveal 4 to 6 (or more) mahogany-brown seeds. These are excellent for hearty winter soups. 🌿 Garden Performance This is a high-energy climber that requires room to roam. It is a prolific producer that will keep you busy harvesting from mid-summer until the first frost. Feature Details Type Pole Wax Bean (Rare Appalachian Heirloom) Origin West Virginia, USA (Esther Henry Strain) Vine Height 8+ Feet Pod Colors Yellow (Early) ➡️ Deep Pink (Mature) Seed Color Rich Brown / Mahogany Productivity Prolific, Heavy Loader Status Open-Pollinated & Non-Commercial ✨ Why We Love It "The West Virginia Heritage Pink Butterbean is a reminder of why we save seeds. It is rare to find a bean that is so versatile—offering buttery yellow snaps in July and deep pink canning beans in August. It’s a vigorous mountain survivor that produces a heavy load of pods, ensuring that a single packet can produce thousands of seeds for your family for years to come." 👨🌾 Cultivation & Seed Stewardship Because this variety can easily climb upwards of 8 feet, we recommend a very sturdy trellis or cattle panel. The seeds exhibit excellent germination and are remarkably fertile. Heritage Tip: To continue the cycle of this West Virginia treasure, leave a few of your most prolific pink pods to dry completely on the vine. When the pods are "crispy," shell out the brown seeds and store them in a cool, dry place. These seeds are fertile and will germinate well year after year! Grow a piece of Appalachian history that you can't find anywhere else. Order West Virginia Heritage Pink Butterbean seeds today from Firefly Farm & Mercantile! 🌻

🫘 Whipple Bean (Oregon Heirloom) The Legendary "Purple-Splashed" Gem of the Pacific Northwest Discover a piece of Oregon’s agricultural history with the Whipple Bean. This rare and stunning pole bean is a favorite among heirloom collectors for its spectacular seeds—deep, velvety purple-maroon splashed with creamy white markings. While it produces delicious green pods for fresh eating, it is most famous as a dry shelling bean, prized for its rich, nutty flavor and a texture so creamy it has been compared to gourmet butter. 📜 Historical Heritage & Origin The Whipple Bean is a true "lost and found" heirloom. Its story began in the early 20th century with the Whipple family of Roseburg, Oregon, located in the fertile Willamette Valley. For decades, the family carefully saved and replanted these seeds, selecting for vigor, flavor, and the bean's unique striking appearance. There is another story linking the Whipple Bean to the Deep South. Both are widely shared and we never agree what is correct. The history of this bean is inextricably linked to the struggle for civil rights in the 1960s. The seeds were originally a family heirloom grown in the Deep South (likely Georgia or Alabama). The 1970s Journey to OregonIn the early 1970s, the seeds were brought to Oregon by Dan Whipple, a dedicated civil rights activist and worker who had served in the South during the height of the movement. Dan was a close acquaintance and fellow laborer of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., working alongside him in the fight for voter registration and racial justice. When Dan Whipple eventually moved to the Pacific Northwest—settling in the Dexter/Eugene area of Oregon—he brought these beans with him as a connection to the people and the land he had served. For decades, he carefully stewarded the variety, selecting for plants that thrived in the shorter, cooler growing seasons of the Willamette Valley. Today, the Whipple Bean stands as a symbol of the Great Migration and the enduring legacy of the activists who shaped modern America. Historically, it was a staple of the Oregon homestead, valued for its incredible productivity in the cooler, temperate climates of the Pacific Northwest. It eventually made its way into the hands of local seed savers and the Seed Savers Exchange, saving it from obscurity. Today, it is celebrated as a premier example of "regional heritage"—a bean that represents the self-sufficiency and rich soil of the early Oregon pioneers. ✨ Product Highlights Stunning Seeds: One of the most beautiful dry beans you can grow; the seeds look like polished gems. Dual-Purpose: Can be harvested young as a tender, stringless green snap bean or left to dry for an world-class soup bean. Gourmet Flavor: When cooked, the beans hold their shape well but have a rich, savory, and exceptionally creamy interior. Vigorous Climber: A heavy producer that utilizes vertical space, sending out 6-to-8-foot vines loaded with clusters of pods. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Plant Type Annual (Heirloom Pole Bean) Growth Habit Vining (Requires a trellis or "bean teepee") Days to Maturity 70 Days (Snap) / 90–100 Days (Dry) Sun Requirement Full Sun (6-8+ hours) Height 6 to 8 feet Pod Color Green 🌱 How to Grow Whipple Beans 1. When to Plant:Beans are heat-lovers and are very sensitive to frost. Direct sow seeds outdoors only after the soil has warmed to at least 65°F and all danger of frost has passed. 2. Sowing the Seeds: Sow seeds 1 inch deep. Space seeds 3–4 inches apart at the base of a support. Note: Do not soak the seeds before planting, as this can lead to cracking and poor germination in some heirloom varieties. 3. Trellising (Required):As a vigorous pole bean, the Whipple Bean must have support. A sturdy trellis, cattle panel, or "three-pole teepee" works best. Install the support at the time of planting to avoid disturbing the roots later. 4. Soil & Water: Beans do not require heavy nitrogen (they fix their own!). Use a balanced organic compost at planting. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Always water at the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry and prevent disease. 5. Harvesting Stages: Snap Phase: Harvest the green pods when they are 5–6 inches long and the seeds inside are just starting to swell. Dry Phase: For the signature "Whipple" look, leave the pods on the vine until they turn brown, dry, and brittle. If rain is forecasted when pods are drying, pull the whole plant and hang it in a dry, airy place like a garage to finish curing. 🍳 Culinary Inspiration The Whipple Bean is a showstopper in Slow-Cooked Chili, Cassoulets, or Oregon Cowboy Beans. Because the bean is so rich and creamy, it pairs perfectly with smoked meats, rosemary, and garlic. Garden Tip: If you are growing these for the dry beans, leave them on the vine as long as possible. The longer they "cure" in the sun, the deeper and more vibrant the purple-and-cream patterns will become! 🧺🫘

We are a small garden shop and have very little pull with any carrier (and seriously who really does with USPS or any other). For the most part UPS timelines have been the most consistent. But there are not delivery dates but days your package will be in transit once we drop it off. In average we take 1-4 business days to fulfill orders and then the carrier’s approximate shipping times are added to that.&nbsp;

SHIPPING POLICY

We accept various forms for payment. Currently we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express as well as Google Pay and Shop Pay.
We strive to deliver on what we say we are going to do. Pre-orders are orders that are being taken without inventory on hand. The advantage is you get a great price, but sometimes crops just don't yield what is expected. We will use many different suppliers to fulfill your orders as best as possible. We won't substitute without your permission so please make sure you leave your best contact information so we can reach out to you. On occasion if unable to reach you, we will simply send the substitute product but you are welcome to call us once receiving it and letting us know you’d like a refund on it.
