{"product_id":"vermont-cranberry-bean-bush-20-seeds","title":"Vermont Cranberry Bean (Bush) – 20 Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrow a cherished piece of early American heritage with our Vermont Cranberry Bush Bean seeds! A beloved New England heirloom dating back to before the 1800s, this compact, productive variety (also prized in Italian cooking as a Borlotti-style shell bean) forms sturdy 18 to 24 inch bush plants loaded with heavy clusters of vibrant red-streaked pods. Inside each pod are plump, oval beans with a creamy pinkish-tan base dramatically mottled with deep cranberry-red splashes and swirls. Celebrated for their rich, sweet, nutty flavor and velvety texture that holds its shape without turning mushy, Vermont Cranberry beans are unmatched for traditional New England baked beans, hearty winter stews, minestrone soups, and fresh summer shell-bean salads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e⭐ What you'll love\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistoric pre-1800s New England heirloom prized for rich, nutty flavor and creamy, velvety texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eGorgeous cranberry-red mottled beans nestled inside vibrant red-streaked pods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCompact 18 to 24 inch bush habit requires no trellising and produces reliable, heavy yields.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDual-purpose harvest: enjoy fresh shelled in about 70 days, or leave to dry on the plant for pantry storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌿 Seed details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vermont Cranberry Bush Bean (\u003cem\u003ePhaseolus vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 20 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heirloom, Open Pollinated, Non-GMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLifecycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm-Season Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65-75 days fresh shell (85-95 days dry beans)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e All Zones (Grown as a warm-season annual)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Grown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌱 Growing instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct sow seeds outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures reach 60-65°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote on Soaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e If briefly pre-soaking seeds prior to sowing, both seeds that float and seeds that sink will be viable.
