    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A striking & versatile bean. Can be grown as a green bean when young & tender, or dried for haricot beans. When mature, 6” beans have red flecks on a pale green background. The seeds are also very decorative & feature red streaks and spots on a creamy yellow background - excellent for drying. To 2’ tall & wide, bush beans are an easy option for gardeners who are not set up with a trellis for pole beans.
