Bean Seeds, Blauhilde
Description
(Phaseolus vulgaris) Pole bean. Spectacular climbing type makes enormous purple pods! Pods stay tender and stringless, even at 10 inches long! Plants are gorgeous in the garden as well, as the rose-purple blooms contrast nicely with the rich, deep purple of the developing pods. Vigorous, productive vines reach a moderate 9 feet tall. The richly flavored pods are best appreciated when used fresh from the vines. This heirloom from Germany is resistant to mosaic virus, too.

Growing Tips
Full sun is essential for optimal growth, and consistent moisture is crucial, especially during flowering and pod formation stages. It's recommended to provide strong support structures, such as canes or trellises, to accommodate their vigorous climbing habit​.
When to Grow
Blauhilde beans should be planted in spring after the last frost when the soil has warmed to at least 60 F. The perfect temperature for this bean is 70-80 F. In cooler climates, start seeds indoors in late April and transplant them outdoors by mid-May. In warmer areas, direct sowing in June is ideal​​.
How to Sow and Plant
Soak the seeds overnight before planting to enhance germination. Sow seeds about 1/2 to 1 inch deep in the soil. Space the plants 6-10 inches apart to allow for air circulation and easy access for harvesting. It’s best to install the support structures when planting to avoid disturbing the plants later.
How to Grow
Blauhilde beans require regular watering, but the soil should not be waterlogged. Mulching around the plants can help retain moisture and suppress weeds. These beans fix their own nitrogen, so they generally do not need additional fertilization if the soil is rich in organic matter. Harvest the pods when they are about 10-12 cm long before the seeds inside become visible for the best texture and flavor. Harvest frequently to keep plants productive. The pods will turn green when cooked​​.
How to Save
Common beans do not easily cross pollinate and can be grown close to one another, making them the ideal seed-saving project for beginners.
Save seeds from the best-looking, best-tasting, and most vigorous beans.
Leave pods on the plant to dry. Pull the plants and shake them vigorously into a bag to release the beans from the pods (same as you would for using them as dried beans).
Store in a cool, dry place for the winter (a glass jar in the refrigerator works well!).
FAQ
How tall do Blauhilde beans grow?
They can reach heights of 6-9 feet, so support is necessary​​.
How long do Blauhilde beans take to mature?
They typically take 65 days from germination to harvest, with continuous picking encouraging more production throughout the growing season​​.
Can Blauhilde beans be grown in containers?
While they can be grown in large containers, ensure they have adequate support and sufficient soil depth for their root systems​​.
