Purple Succotash is a rare heirloom variety of dry bean developed by the Narragansett Indian tribe of Rhode Island. Its vigorous pole-type plants produce excellent yields of large, bright purple beans shaped reminiscently like corn kernels. Purported to be the original bean used to make Succotash, the iconic corn and bean dish served by the Wampanoag people at the first Thanksgiving feast, this rare Native American heirloom remains an important living artifact of our national and cultural history. A great variety for teaching children about history and the Three Sisters method. The Succotash bean produces large, plump beans which are often cooked with bacon or salt pork to yield a creamy bean with a comforting, buttery texture. While most famous for corn and bean succotash, these delicious beans are suitable for most any bean dish. They can be harvested while still plump (shelly stage) or alternatively, left to dry down into a nearly black dry bean. Performs well in the north if provided a long enough growing season. Matures approximately 100 days after sowing. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.
