Grow beauty and bounty with Wild Kidney Bean (Phaseolus polystachios)—also known as Thicket Bean—a native North American perennial legume that does it all.

  • 🌿 Versatile Native Perennial – This resilient vining plant is native to North America and thrives in a variety of garden settings. Perfect for trellises, edges, and wild margins.

  • 💜 Beautiful Purple Blooms – Not just practical—this plant is ornamental too. It produces elegant purple flowers that attract pollinators and add visual charm.

  • 🌱 Edible & Productive – Wild kidney beans are edible and have been traditionally foraged. While less common than cultivated beans, they offer a sustainable, perennial harvest for small-scale growers.

  • 🌾 Nitrogen-Fixing Powerhouse – As a legume, it improves soil health by naturally fixing nitrogen, making it an ideal companion in regenerative and permaculture gardens.

  • 📦 10 Seeds Per Packet – Carefully selected for native gardens and sustainable planting.

Support biodiversity, restore soil, and grow something truly meaningful.

⚠️ Important Germination Note:
These are native perennial seeds, and unlike annual beans, they will not sprout in 7 days. Expect germination to take 3–5 weeks, even under ideal conditions. For best results:

  • Scarify the seed coat gently with sandpaper or nick with a knife.

  • Soak seeds in warm water for 12–24 hours before planting.

  • Sow in spring or cold-stratify for 30–60 days if fall sowing is not possible.

🌱 Native seeds take patience, but the long-term rewards are well worth it.
