Bean Bush Roma II Seed

Phaseolus vulgaris

Item #0217

58 days. A favorite in Italy, these flat and wide snap beans aren’t available in most grocery stores. Once you taste their delicious nutty flavor you’ll wish you could grow them year round. The 4"-5" long pods are slow to develop fiber and seeds so they’re nice and tender. Roma II is delicious eaten fresh, and is an excellent variety for freezing or canning.

This packet plants one 10 foot row.
