Description
Rosy red-purple, stringless pods stand out on the vigorous green plants—and they make harvest easy. A cross between a purple snap bean and pinto bean, Red Swan's vigorous plants produce high yields of Romano-type, flattened pods that are meaty and flavorful. They're wonderful when steamed, canned or cooked into your favorite recipes. Their color turns bright green with cooked. The colorful pods and pretty bicolor, pink and white flowers make Red Swan Bush Bean very ornamental and a good choice for the edible landscape.
