Super productive variety
Easy to grow
This borlotti bean variety is one suited to our cooler climate
They're delicious in soup, or as a borlotti bean ratatouille with lots of fresh coriander and flakes of Parmesan. On a line of canes, it will climb to about 2 metres and makes one of the most ornamental vegetables you can grow.
