Annelino Pole Bean Seeds

European heirloom bean. A very nice pole variety that grows in a highly unusual crescent shape, like a shrimp, which is the other name these go by. ‘Annelini’ actually means ‘little rings’ in Italian and is a reference to the pod habit of these beans. I thought they had a fantastic table quality, with nice texture. Unfortunately, they were a little late for my area in Northern Ontario. I was able to eat some of the beans as well as save some for seed, but not as much as I would have liked for such a nice bean. The summer that year was rainy and shorter than usual, and this bean may have done better for me in better weather. Very limited quantity.
