Lima Bean (Phaseolus lunatus 'Potawatomi')

Highly-productive lima bean long stewarded by the Potawatomi (Bodewadmi) Nation and well-adapted to northern climates. Vigorous, disease resistant vines grow 8-10 ft. tall and require trellising. Large, thick-walled pods are easy to find and shell, with little-to-no shattering before harvest. Beans are both deliciously edible and decorative!
