I wondered why only one came up, then I looked at the date on the pack. I was shocked that I even got one.
They found seeds in Egyptian tombs that were still viable, I guess anything is possible! :)

What else?
See who else is growing Phaseolus coccineus (Runner bean).
See who else has plants in genus Phaseolus.
