Fagiola di Angelo Impenia Pole Bean Seeds

An Italian heirloom that is dual purpose – can be eaten as snaps and also used as a dry bean. It’s likely that this bean was brought to North America by Joseph Simcox, the international seed collector. Seeds also are uniquely pretty, difficult to describe but the marble shaped beans are ivory, with a pigeon grey partial overlay which is speckled in a charcoal or chocolate colour. Seeds are medium size. A beauty. Very rare. 2023 seed.  Gratefully received from the wonderful collection of Russ Crow, Woodstock, Illinois.
