I am pretty sure that the package was labelled heirloom.
what was the variety name? heirloom is nice because then you know they're very likely an open pollinated crop. but beyond that it is nice if there is a variety name with it as then you have a chance of learning more about it.
I am sure that my later planted beans ARE heirloom, Kentucky Wonder Beans. I have an order from Baker's Creek that includes Cherokee Trail of Tears, so I will be planting purple beans next year, plus we do have a variety of box stores that sell heirloom purple beans, too.
Hoping that the deep purple beans Are heirloom, but I don't mind practicing seed saving on them.
Deep purple was the variety name? lemme look... not sure i'm finding...
and practicing seed saving on beans can be quite fun. we all started somewhere...
