Worchester Indian Red Pole Beans
Reported to be of Native American origin and introduced by SESE in 1990, this is one of the hardiest lima beans available. The heat- and drought-resistant plants produce medium-sized, dark maroon-red seeds with 2–4 beans per pod. It retains a wild trait — some pods will spring open when completely dry — making it a resilient and visually striking variety for gardeners in challenging climates.
