20 Seeds Cave Bean Phaseolus vulgaris Heirloom

Cave Bean is a heirloom variety of common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, valued for its vigorous climbing habit and reliable pod production. These seeds produce twining vines that can be grown on trellises, poles, or fences, making them a practical choice for gardeners who want to use vertical space in beds and borders.
Cave Bean can be grown as a snap bean for fresh eating or left to mature for dry shelling beans, depending on harvest timing. The plants work well in kitchen gardens, raised beds, and ornamental vegetable plantings where the climbing growth adds height and structure. For best results, sow after the last frost in a sunny spot and keep the soil evenly moist.
