A true collector's bean — and a must-grow for any serious gardener. Piloy Red Beans are a traditional pole bean from Guatemala, prized for their small size (about ½ inch long), thin skin, and quick-cooking nature. Toss them into salads, simmer in soups and stews, or pair with rice for a classic Caribbean-inspired dish.
Planting Guide
When to Plant: Direct sow outdoors 1–2 weeks after the average last frost, once soil temperatures are consistently above 65°F. Not recommended for indoor starting.
Succession Planting: For a continuous harvest all season, sow a new crop every 7–14 days, up to 60 days before the first fall frost.
Hot Summer Climates: Sow in March for a June harvest, and again in August for a late September harvest.
Harvesting
Fresh Use: Pick pods when they are plump and bulging, before they begin to yellow or dry out. Shell immediately and use fresh, or refrigerate for a few days.
Dried Beans: Leave pods on the vine until both the pod and beans are fully dry and hard, then shell and store.
