Thresh Seed Co. Verified independent store

Originally introduced as Black Creaseback and later renamed Ideal Market by the Chris Reuter Seed Co. of New Orleans. Pole-type variety produces an abundance of 5-inch-long stringl ess beans that are both sweet and crisp. An excellent variety under most circumstances, however it has proven to be slightly more susceptible to Japanese Beetles than other varieties we've tried. If you live in an area with significant Japanese Beetle pressure, we would instead recommend "Purple Pod Pole" which has some degree of resistance. If beetles are not a problem in your area, Ideal Market's superb productivity and excellent flavor make it well worth a try. Harvests begin 65-70 days after sowing. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds. Show more
