$9.99
Skip to product information
Grow a rare and valuable native vine with Phaseolus polystachios, commonly known as the Wild Kidney Bean. This native perennial legume is admired for its twining vine habit, small purple to pink pea-like flowers, and its importance to native ecosystems. It is a close relative of cultivated beans but is primarily grown for restoration, conservation, and native plant gardens.
Wild Kidney Bean is an excellent plant for pollinators, attracting bees and other beneficial insects, and it also serves as a host plant for butterflies. The vine fixes nitrogen in the soil, improving soil health over time. While the beans are not commonly grown for food, the plant is highly valued for native habitat plantings, woodland edges, meadows, and trellises.
You will receive:
✔️ 5 fresh, viable seeds
✔️ Open-pollinated, native species
✔️ Carefully packaged for successful planting
