Bean Succotash

Grow the Historic Succotash Bean

Discover the rare and ancient Bean Succotash, a significant heirloom from the Narragansett Indian tribe of Rhode Island. This unique bean is truly distinctive, with a dime-sized shape that closely resembles a kernel of corn. Its historical importance lies in its traditional use for succotash, the iconic indigenous northeastern dish of corn and beans that many historians believe was served at the very first Thanksgiving.

This variety is particularly well-adapted to the northern regions, especially those along the coast, making it a meaningful and practical addition to your garden.

For successful growth, direct sow seeds after the last frost when the soil has warmed. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 3-4 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart. Beans prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Provide support if the plants exhibit a climbing tendency, though some sources suggest a bush habit.

Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod development. Harvest the beans when the pods are mature. Enjoy this historic bean in traditional succotash or your favorite bean recipes.
