Phaseolus vulgaris

HEIRLOOM. Although its exact history is lost to time, this old family heirloom is named after a pioneering family who settled in Oregon’s Willamette Valley in the mid-19th century and raised this bean. It has an excellent, very rich, cooking flavor. Vigorous bush plants sometimes have short runners. The seeds are a pretty purplish-red with little white spots. Very rare.
