Every season I am astounded by the beautiful assortment of beans I collect from this variety, which we developed a number of years ago. Some are solid color, but most are dazzling, minature works of art. They are also darn good eating. Expect a big harvest in about 75 days. They can also be eaten as snap beans, but I prefer to wait and dry them down. Pods rarely shatter. The vines are vigorous and hold up well even under damp conditions. (50 seeds per packet - about an ounce)
