No garden is complete without Beans. Super delicious on the flavor scale with purple splashed beans that are oval, large and contained in 5-6" pods. Much earlier than other beans of this type. Use it and store it as a dry bean. Seed is splashed with purple-red blotches. Compact, upright, stout and vigorous grower, and is exceedingly productive. Is nice for shelling and succotash. Is large, oval shape, plump and undoubtedly the best for green shell bean, being rich and delicious as limas." Zones 3-10 Additional Details ------------------------------ Color: Black
