Nose Pierced Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
Dwarf green bean with very small delicate pods. Early and prolific, this variety gives small seeds of a beautiful golden brown. It would come from the Nez Percé Native American tribe. Maintained for generations by the Denny family of Idaho (1930), this bean will produce certain twigs (“runner”) about 3 feet that can be staked or left on the ground. Can be eaten dry or fresh. 5 to 6 seeds per pod. Endangered, please share!
Staking is not compulsory, can bush on the ground.
