Originating in England and dating back to the 1930s, the Good Mother Stallard dried bean embodies the living heritage of heirloom seeds, carefully preserved and shared over time. It is prized for its red and white striped beans, which are as elegant as they are nutritious.

In the garden, this climbing variety offers vigorous growth and great hardiness. It requires good support to reach its full height and display its long pods, each containing 5 to 6 beans. It blooms in late summer and provides a generous harvest of dry beans with a creamy texture and a robust flavor. Naturally enriching the soil through nitrogen fixation, Good Mother Stallard is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking self-sufficiency and diversity.
