The Rio Zape pole bean is an heirloom variety treasured for its unique, rich flavor and beautiful appearance. The beans are medium-sized with a striking deep maroon color, often speckled with black markings. Known for their creamy texture and slightly sweet, earthy taste, Rio Zape beans are perfect for soups, stews, and refried beans. The sturdy bush plants are highly productive, maturing in about 90 days.
I have had great success with all of my bean purchases from M I Gardener. They are my favorite place to shop for seeds!
These beans earned more space. Fantastic production with very little maintenance. Zone 6b
These took a LONG time to mature but were worth the wait! They took over everything growing around them but I'm not complaining. I will be growing twice as much as last yr because they were so delicious and pretty too. Grown in N. MS zone 8a
These grew beautifully for me in Michigan, zone 5A. They made THE BEST refried beans my family has ever had. We look forward to growing much more next year.
I ordered these a little late in the season, but whimsically sowed about a dozen anyway, hoping for a late frost. I got lucky! These beans are absolutely gorgeous, and I was able to harvest about a cup of shelled beans per 8-10 plants. I saved most of my seed packages for next season, but am not worried about germination rates--they keep for quite a while if stored properly (dry, cool, etc...).
Also, this is a bush bean. The website may say pole, but the packaging and my experience say they are definitely a bush--roughly 2' high, and I didn't even give them the chance they deserve by planting them on time. These are seriously great, give them a try!
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
