This is a variety we have been growing on our farm since early 2020.  The Deep black seeds of this variety are stunning and unique and fairly large-sized. The plant has large leaves which make it an excellent ground cover, and it is very suitable as a fodder crop. The very light green pods are produced abundantly on long stalks that make it easy to harvest. Inside the pods the seeds start off lime green, then turn purple and finally black before they dry. We love this variety as a shelled bean variety due to the lovely mix of colors you get from inside the pods, and also the delicious creamy flavor of the variety. It's hard to grow wrong in growing this variety and the only problem we face is of deer and rabbits which love to eat its leaves (nothing a little chilli solution wont solve!) Does great in soil, but also does wonderful in containers.
