From Uprising Seeds: One of the most beautiful beans we’ve ever seen, Kaimame has impressed us for the past two seasons with its earliness and heavy sets. Hailing from Hokkaido, Japan the name means “shell bean” for its striped blue and black swirls that resemble the concentric patterning of oyster or clam shells. Plump and suitable for long, slow cooking, delicious Kaimame has a firm, substantial texture that works well in soups and slow-cooked stews. 95-105 days.
Care: Plant 3-4″ apart in rows 18-36″ apart in full sun. Vines grow 6-8′ tall; provide support.Harvest dry beans when 90% of leaves have yellowed and fallen off.
