About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You can plant ‚Aquadulce’ in mild climates as early as October or November, and it will give you the first harvests especially early in May. The tall plants produce long pods with large, bright seeds. A somewhat wind‑protected stake helps the long shoots.

When harvested early, the seeds are delicate and pleasantly sweetish. Plants grown over the winter often produce the juiciest beans.
