Phaseolus vulgaris, the common bean, is the species behind most of the beans we grow to eat fresh or dried — French, dwarf, bush and climbing types alike. A tender annual legume, it is the botanical backbone of our green bean and French bean ranges within the wider peas and beans collection.
The common bean was domesticated in the Americas thousands of years ago — remarkably, in two separate places, with one centre in Mesoamerica and another in the Andes of South America. Beans were one of the “Three Sisters” of Indigenous agriculture, grown together with maize and squash so the beans could climb the corn and enrich the soil. After Columbus, Phaseolus vulgaris spread rapidly across Europe, Africa and Asia, in many kitchens replacing the older broad bean.
Its botanical name nods to the pod's shape: Phaseolus derives from a Greek and Latin word for a little boat or skiff, while vulgaris means “common.”
As a legume, the common bean fixes its own nitrogen through root nodules, enriching the soil as it grows. It comes in two main habits: low, self-supporting bush types that crop in a quick flush — our bush and dwarf beans — and tall climbers that crop for weeks up canes, our climbing and pole beans. Pods range from slender green and yellow to purple and flecked borlotti, and the same plant can give both tender pods to eat whole and dried beans to store.
Beans are tender and hate cold, wet soil, so sow after the last frost into warm, well-prepared ground, or start them in pots to plant out. Climbing types need their supports in place before sowing; bush types need none. Pick regularly once the pods come, as the more you harvest the more the plant produces. Our vegetable sowing calendar shows the timing and our plant supports guide covers the frames climbers need.

Hva er Phaseolus vulgaris?
Det er den vanlige bønnen, en varmekjær ettårig belgvekst som inkluderer haricots verts, dverge-, busk- og klatrebønner.
Hvor kommer vanlig bønne fra?
Fra Amerika — domestisert separat i Mellom-Amerika og Andesregionen — og spredt over hele verden etter Columbus.
Hva betyr navnet?
Phaseolus kommer fra et ord for en liten båt, etter belgens form, og vulgaris betyr «vanlig».
Trenger bønner støtte?
Klatretyper trenger støtter; buske- og dvergetyper klarer seg selv.
Forbedrer bønner jorda?
Ja — som belgvekster binder de sitt eget nitrogen via røttene.
