Crevette Kidney Pole Bean Seeds

Another new favourite pole bean for 2023, from France. This bean was originally collected by Joseph Simcox, that fabulous ‘Botanical Explorer’ in Europe and brought to North America. 6 plants produced almost 1 1/2 pounds of dried beans. The pods on these beans are the most shocking hot pink specimens I’ve ever seen. They are really something. I received them described as a semi-runner, but after growing them I’d be more inclined to call them a full fledged pole. They dry down easily and the plants are quite robust. Seeds are a creamy grey base covered in black flecks, on the large side, flat. Very rare. 2023 seed   Gratefully received from the wonderful collection of Russ Crow, Woodstock, Illinois.
