A self-fertile, white-flowered variety producing masses of beans that are great for cooking whole rather than cut up, and are sold at a premium in certain high-end supermarkets. Can also be left to grow to around 30cm.

Conserve moisture by mulching with manure, straw or grass clippings. Water well during dry summers. Sowing: Cropping ? 12-14 weeks.
