Phaseolus vulgaris This lovely ‘politically incorrect’ bean derives its name for its ease of growing and one of the first stringless beans making preparation much easier…for the housewife nearly 200yrs ago!

Phaseolus vulgaris We’d been after this climber for a long time and are very grateful. Up to 2 metres needing staking or strong trellis the rich green leaf contrasts beautifully with the streaks of red/pink/cream that makes this bean productive, ornamental and delicious. Unlike other beans pick when swollen with seeds then dry or better still steam while green and tender, a very sort after delicacy. -
