Peasant Pole Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
An old variety with late maturing, this climbing bean produces long pods 14 to 15 cm long, of an intensely mottled purple green. Its small grains are gray-brown streaked and have a delicate nutty taste. It comes from the Old Continent, where it was extensively grown, but has adapted very well to our Quebec conditions.
