Xenia Field

Journalist, professional gardener and politician Xenia Field died, aged 103, in 1998; this bean is without doubt a tribute to a most fascinating woman.

Once available from Unwins, who said it was high yielding, disease resistant and performed well in British conditions.

White flowers are followed by straight, green pods that are best picked when young and stringless. Also freezes well.
