Worked well on the California coast
I got 100% germination. The plants sprout quickly, and gave vigorous growth in our coastal backyard garden in northern San Diego. Highly productive, we are giving beans away. I am a huge fan of Annie’s seeds.

ZONE 6B
THE CHEROKEE TRAIL OF TEARS BEAN DID VERY WELL FOR US IN KANSAS - ZONE 6B. TONS OF BLACK BEANS. NO DISEASE OR PEST DAMAGE NOTED. WE PURCHASED SEVERAL VEGETABLE SEEDS FROM ANNIE'S HEIRLOOM SEEDS; ALL HAD NEAR PERFECT GERMINATION RATES.
