AnnualPainted Pony bush bean is a versatile heirloom variety known for its striking appearance and robust flavor. The beans feature a unique bi-colored pattern, typically a mix of white and brown or maroon. These bush beans mature in about 60 days, producing high yields on compact, sturdy plants. Painted Pony beans are ideal for fresh eating, canning, and drying for winter storage.
Packaged beautifully came very quickly but most of these won't be planted till next season. Prices and free shipping could not be beat.
I harvested these beans as green beans and as dried beans. They are wonderful in both applications. They grow skinny long green beans and are not stringy when harvested young. The dried beans are small, but very pretty.
Germination rate was good
Adding to my delightful collection of stored and dried!
Germinated quickly and are growing fast. Can’t wait to harvest
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.
This variety was excellent for me for cooking. I needed to pick fewer leaves and chopping was a breeze. The spinich felt more succulent and thicker than the American (smaller spoon shaped leaves). I would use it for cooking and keep the smaller leaved varieties for raw salad eating. My weather was a tricky early on and off again spring and winter pattern, so I think that triggered early bolting, but even still. It was pretty hands off and worth it.
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
