AnnualGood Mother Stallard pole bean is a cherished heirloom variety renowned for its rich, nutty flavor and striking appearance. The beans are mottled with beautiful maroon and white patterns. These vigorous climbing plants reach maturity in about 85-95 days, producing high yields of tender, flavorful beans. Ideal for soups, stews, and salads, Good Mother Stallard beans maintain their shape and texture well during cooking.
Pretty colors
Beautiful beans arrived early- plan to plant in spring
Ordered more packets for summer!
Everything arrived in great condition, and I can't wait to plant them.
I'm growing in Ohio Zone 6B. Last year, I paired two pole bean varieties on a zig-zagging bamboo terrace: Cherokee and Good Mother Stallard. These varieties pair well because the pods look very different (with long-thin pods that dry to red/purple on the Cherokee and flatter pods that dry to yellow/brown for Good Mother Stallard), so it's easy to tell which bean you are harvesting. The Good Mother Stallard beans were the later of the two to begin producing pods, with larger beans but fewer per pod (usually three to five). The dried beans are gorgeous, mottled burgundy and white, and they hold their shape well during cooking. They are also quite tasty!
We planted five seeds in five die pattern in 12 x 2.5" starter pots because we suspected finicky germination rate, but much to our surprise 53 of the 60 seeds came up! We gave four seedlings to family and pricked the remaining 49 out and everyone is doing very well in its own pot. Grade A seeds in our opinion! We love MIGardener!
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
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!
