Perennial bean Phaseolus polystachios

[@terra-blegardeningvideos]

Yes, indeed! This is a perennial bean that occupies the same genus as the annual common beans.

@@terra-blegardeningvideos I found one more I think it's English. The only thing I know for sure is therefore the English name. With German and Latin I really don't know if it's correct. If I remember correctly I got the information from a KZbin video and an Etsy shop description, so... It's : Scarlet runner beans Phaseolus coccineus? Feuerbohne? Käferbohne?

[@findolinfly]

It's from south America. The German and the English Wikipedia article differ vastly from each other and name totally different variants of it. Additionally the have dozens of trivial names in both languages for the same variants. It's a bit chaotic, but seems to be a great plant.

[@terra-blegardeningvideos]

Yes, cool find! The Phaseolus coccineus is the Scarlet Runner Bean. This is another 'perennial' bean species, but it is only truly perennial in warmer and tropical climates. Further out from the Equator it becomes annual. The root of P. coccineus has been eaten cooked in some cultures. In contrast, P. polystachios is perennial in higher latitudes, being that it is naturally-adapted to be cold hardy, thus for my own context this would be my species of choice (or P. vulgaris bush varieties which is a short-season annual with high production). However, if you live in a warmer climate, or have certain specific goals, P. coccineus could be an excellent choice!

@@terra-blegardeningvideos are there more perennial beans?

[@findolinfly]

Thanks for showing the latin names!!!

[@terra-blegardeningvideos]

Absolutely! I find they are really helpful for reference. Thanks for watching!

They could have used your knowledge at the farm I used to work on.

Did you grind your parsnips in fresh or dried form?

[@terra-blegardeningvideos]

I ground them in dried form. In that instance, I first sliced them thinly then dried them in an oven on the lowest setting, turning it off once it got to the 130-140 F range. I kept the oven door ajar for moisture to escape. Thanks!
