About this variety
A very old variety, loved for its scarlet flowers and abundant beans. Beans can be harvested young and eaten fresh or more often, as a shelling bean. The beans themselves are a beautiful mottled mauve.
+/- 15 Seeds
Growing notes
Direct seed when average daytime temperatures reach 16°C for best results. Pole beans need trellising, which is best done right after seeding.

We're trialing and breeding new varieties!
This is the most challenging and thrilling part of our work.
The trialing allows us to test varieties of a same species side by side and determine which one(s) taste and perform the best.
Breeding and variety maintenance means selecting for traits that are desirable such as flavor, texture, disease resitance, earliness and hardiness, just to mention a few.
