Hope Seeds


Hope Seeds & Perennials (HSP) is based in the well-kept secret of Knowlesville, NB. Many of their seeds have been traced back to seed catalogues from the late 1800’s. Their seeds are all open-pollinated and they encourage you to save seeds for next year and share with friends.

Soldier Beans:Ths traditional dry bean is still common for folks in the Maritimes that cook baked beans.  The red marking around the hilum, when held vertically, is said to resemble a an old soldier in uniform when they used to wear those massive fur helmets.p>

Planting Instructions
Plant beans about an inch deep and approximately 2-3 inches apart. Once the seedlings begin to develop true leaves, the plants can be thinned to 6 inches apart. If the area you are in stays quite humid, allow more space between the plants for better airflow.
