About this variety

Stringless flatish pods followed by plentiful fresh beans that turn maroon and cream once dried. This pretty heritage variety of bean has been passed through the weathered hands of generations of gardeners since the 16th century. It's the ultimate all-rounder providing plentiful flat smooth skinned green pods. As the pods fill out with beans and dry they develop a delightful maroon and cream pattern, great for long storage and comforting winter stews. An easy to grow climbing bean with great drought tolerance and plentiful abundance. (Approximate seed count - 60)
