The local squire passed this bean to the father of our donor, and it was named after their family. They produce robust, hardy, vigorous plants around 1-2m in height, and flowers with white standard petals and very pale green wing petals. The pods are flat, short and tender and filled with flavourful beans that can be podded, steamed and eaten green. But principally a drying bean with a sweet and nutty flavour. Seed colour bicoloured white and buff with dark purple stripes and speckles.
