Whipple - Bush Bean Seeds

The Whipple dry bush bean exhibits robust growth with bushy plants and short runners, producing abundant clusters of 6-8" pods that bear plump beans in a purplish-red hue adorned with small white spots. These substantial heirloom beans boast a rich flavor profile, making them especially well-suited for slow-cooked chili. The variety is named in honor of the Whipple family, who cultivated it and settled in Oregon's Willamette Valley during the mid-19th century. Mr. Whipple, a minister, played a role in the civil rights movement, participating in marches and collaborating with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 20g ~ 30 seeds.
