Grow a truly unique heirloom bean with these Mbombo Bean seeds, a rare Kenyan variety prized for its dazzling emerald-green dry beans and excellent garden performance. This pole to semi-pole bean produces abundant 5–6 inch pods filled with kidney-shaped beans that display some of the most vibrant colors found in the bean world.

Ready in approximately 50–60 days, Mbombo beans are versatile and delicious, whether harvested young as green beans or allowed to mature for use in soups and other hearty dishes. Originally from Kenya, this drought- and heat-tolerant variety has a rich cultural history and is associated with prosperity and soil fertility. Its vigorous climbing habit makes it an excellent choice for trellises, fences, and vertical garden spaces.

These seeds are organically grown with care by Four Oak Farm in Santa Rosa, California, without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. A favorite among heirloom collectors, seed savers, and home gardeners, Mbombo is both productive and beautiful.
