Sequoia Bush Romano Bean

60 days to harvest Phaseolus vulgaris

HEIRLOOM We’ve never seen or tasted a bean quite like this: Sequoia Bush Romano Bean is velvety smooth and luminescent purple, tender yet meaty, savory yet sweet. She’s well adapted to cool, short seasons after many years of being selected by our dear friend Owen of Annapolis Seeds, in the heart of Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. Owen gifted Matthew and I these seeds in 2013 and we were instantly smitten at first sight and bite!

Would you love to receive these seeds? Rather than selling and shipping, we share seeds as an embodied gift practice.
