Christmas Lima Pole Bean dates to the mid-1800s and climbs to 10 feet with loads of 5-6 inch pods. Quarter-sized beans are marbled maroon and cream, keeping color after cooking with buttery flavor.
Sow 1 inch deep outdoors after the last frost when soil is above 75 degrees F, spaced 2-3 inches apart. Sprouts in 4-10 days at 75-85 degrees F.
