Phaseolus vulgaris
A most popular vegetable. Takes little room, high yielding and nutritious. It bears later but longer than bush beans and ensures a continuous supply. Grows well in all soils if not waterlogged. Does best in near neutral conditions. Sow after frost.
An Italian Romano-style climbing bean producing long, flat yellow pods with a meaty, buttery texture. Pods are stringless, even when larger, and hold their shape and crispness well when cooked. When left to mature, plants produce striking glossy black beans that are excellent for drying and storage. Vigorous climbing plants to 3 metres tall, are very productive and require support, performing well through the warm season. A versatile variety valued for both fresh eating and dry bean use.

Phaseolus coccineus
An old standard variety and vigorous climber, often known as the Seven Year Bean for its ability to resprout from the roots. Produces large, quality pods and striking scarlet flowers. Seeds are black and purple and have traditionally been used to make bean jewellery. Originating from the South American highlands, this variety is best suited to cooler climates. Despite conflicting reports, the roots are considered poisonous and should not be eaten.

Phaseolus vulgaris
Turkey Craw is an old Appalachian climbing bean with an unusual story behind its name. Tradition holds that the original beans were discovered in the crop of a wild turkey in the 1800s, giving rise to a variety that has been maintained through generations of family and community seed saving.
A true dual-purpose bean, the pods can be harvested young and tender for fresh eating or left to mature for shelling and dried beans. The mature seeds are beautifully mottled cream and brown and develop a rich, full flavour when cooked, making them excellent for soups, stews and traditional bean dishes.
Associated particularly with the Appalachian regions of Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, Turkey Craw has been recognised by the Slow Food Ark of Taste as a culturally significant regional variety. Vigorous climbing plants crop generously through warm weather and require a sturdy trellis or other support.
Approximately 20 seeds per packet.

Tropics: March–September
Subtropics: September–March
Mild climates: October–February
Cold climates: October–January, after frost risk has passed
Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 2–3 cm deep directly where plants are to grow once the soil has warmed. Space plants approximately 10–15 cm apart with 60–100 cm between rows and provide a sturdy trellis, fence or other climbing support.
Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and maintain consistent moisture during flowering and pod development. Harvest young pods regularly for fresh eating, or allow pods to mature and dry fully on the vine for dried beans and seed saving.

Phaseolus vulgaris
A vigorous climbing bean producing pale green pods to around 12 cm, developing purple flecking as they mature. Pods are almost round, tender, succulent, and delicious as a snap bean, remaining stringless when young. Plants form long vines to around 3.5 m, are heavy bearing, and perform well under difficult growing conditions. Offered in a Sydney seed catalogue as early as 1861, making this a long grown variety in Australia.

Vigna angularis
A distinctive semi-climbing adzuki-type bean producing abundant small, nearly round seeds with excellent flavour and texture. Vigorous plants benefit from a trellis or support and are well suited to home gardens. The dried beans are ideal for soups, stews, curries and sprouting, and are especially prized in Asian cuisine for both savoury dishes and sweet bean pastes. Harvest once the pods have dried on the vine for long-term storage. Best grown in full sun after the danger of frost has passed.
Approx. 20 seeds per packet.

Trichosanthes anguina
Gauda Bean, also known as New Guinea Butter Bean or Snake Gourd, is a vigorous tropical annual climber producing long, slender fruits approximately 30–60 cm long and up to 4 cm wide. The vigorous vines climb in a similar fashion to choko and benefit from a strong trellis or other substantial support.
The young fruits are harvested at around 30 cm long while still tender and are eaten cooked. They have a mild flavour and can be used in curries, stir-fries and other cooked dishes. As fruits mature they become increasingly fibrous and are best left for seed rather than eating.
A productive warm-season plant, Gauda Bean thrives in hot, humid conditions with full sun, fertile soil and regular moisture. The vigorous vines need plenty of room to climb and spread and are particularly well suited to tropical and subtropical gardens.
Approximately 10 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Spring to autumn
Subtropics: Spring to summer
Mild climates: Late spring to summer in warm locations
Cold climates: Generally unsuitable unless grown through a long, warm, frost-free season
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow once the soil is warm, approximately 2–3 cm deep. Alternatively, raise seedlings in individual pots and transplant carefully once conditions are reliably warm.
Space plants approximately 60–100 cm apart and provide a strong trellis or climbing frame. Keep well watered during vigorous growth and fruit development. Harvest fruits young at approximately 30 cm long for the best eating quality.
