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 This bean was a gift from a gentleman in Pearcedale who gave us a handful literally. It took the next year to grow out and realize what a lovely gift it was. Tall climber with pink beautiful flowers, then long 30cm truly flat pods very tender even at the early stages of the seed swelling. Great cooked with onions, garlic, tomatoes, bay leaves seasoning and the beans thrown in whole and cooked for the last 10 minutes.

Phaseolus vulgaris Vibrant yellow podded dwarf bush bean about 15cm long these wonderful butter beans origins seem to come from South Carolina around the 1950’s. The strain is disease resistant, a vigorous grower with a good strong harvest. Best picked early while quite slender and they’ll be plenty to come. These are fun to seed save from as the bean is deep black.
