Bean Lima Pole Speckled Calico (Green) is a heirloom lima bean variety that stands out for its distinctive appearance and reliable performance. Each plant produces 4-6 inch pods containing creamy white seeds beautifully marked with maroon spots and swirls—a pattern that persists even after cooking. The vigorous vines climb to 10 feet and demonstrate exceptional heat tolerance, making them well-suited to challenging growing seasons. Speckled Calico limas deliver a subtle chestnut flavor with a buttery texture that home gardeners and small-scale growers consistently praise. The beans excel across multiple preservation methods: canning, drying, and freezing all yield excellent results. Nutritionally dense, they provide substantial fiber, protein, and magnesium—nutrients that support cardiovascular health and sustained energy. With a germination rate around 80% and a harvest window of approximately 90 days, these seeds offer predictable yields for meal planning and storage. Non-GMO and true-to-type, this heirloom variety preserves genetic diversity while delivering the culinary and nutritional benefits home gardeners expect from quality seed stock.
