Bean Mbombo Green

Mbombo Green Bean Seeds

Discover the unique beauty and rich heritage of Bean Mbombo Green. This remarkable bean variety produces striking emerald-toned seeds within five- to six-inch pods. These kidney-shaped, bright emerald green dry beans are not only visually stunning but also delicious in soups or enjoyed as a flavorful green bean when young.

Originating in Kenya, the name “Mbombo” holds cultural significance, associated with the Creator God and believed to be a symbol of prosperity and fertility for both the soil and the people. This pole to semi-pole bean exhibits excellent drought and heat tolerance, making it a resilient choice for various climates.

It thrives when grown on a trellis or small fence, adding both beauty and bounty to your garden. This special bean comes to us from Stephen Smith’s renowned collection of colorful beans.

For successful cultivation, direct sow seeds after the last frost when the soil has warmed. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 3-4 inches apart at the base of a trellis or along a fence line. Mbombo Green beans prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Provide support for their pole to semi-pole growth habit. Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod development.

Harvest the pods when they are young and tender for use as green beans, or allow them to mature and dry for use in soups. Enjoy the unique color and cultural significance of this exceptional bean.
