Black Valentine Bean

The black valentine bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, is a snap or dry bean that produces a 6 inch pod green bean with black seeds. This bush bean grows like a pole if trained to grow like one, and tolerates cooler temperatures.

Growing Black Valentine Bean

Sow the seeds directly into the grown after frost has passed. Plant about 1 inch below the surface and 2 inches apart in an area with full sun. Use support for these beans.

Beans are ready after about 50 days for fresh, and about 80 to 90 for dried beans. Picking them throughout the season will increase yields.
