The short growing season, delicious, and distinctive flavor of this Italian (Romano) pole bean make it a favorite among bean aficionados. The 8-10" stringless, flat and tender pods keep their flavor longer than most other green bean varieties. They can be grown almost anywhere because of their short growing season. Formerly called Early Riser. Recommended for home gardens, open field and greenhouse growing.
