Bean Bush 'Sex Without Strings'

$3.90


We have to admit being a bit baffled by the name of this Australian heirloom bean. It is definitely worth growing for its tender, stringless, golden beans but we have no idea where the name came from. It grows as a small compact bush and produces early and is very productive. Days to harvest: 50 - 60.
