An outstanding African Heirloom pole bean variety, the preferred dry bean in Zambia, and the standard that all other regional dry beans are compared to. When freshly harvested these beans have a beautiful light purple speckling that really sets it apart.

Using Beanflo-Rhizobium bacteria when planting your bean seed is the most cost effective way of putting nitrogen fixing bacteria into your soil, creating healthier soil for a more productive harvest.
