55-60 Days to maturity. Phaseolus vulgaris. Red Swan Bean Seeds. Non-GMO, annual, open-pollinated, bush, snap, specialty bean. Suitable for growing in containers, garden plots, raised beds, and greenhouses. The Red Swan Bush Bean is a delicious, purple, stringless snap bean. The purple color leans heavily toward red and pink, and is preceded by lovely pink flowers. The pods retain their unique color even when cooked. A well-known Minnesotan seed breeder, Robert Lobitz, created this variety by crossing a purple snap bean with a pinto-type variety, giving it its signature color and texture. It germinates quickly, matures quickly, and is perfect for gardens with short growing seasons or similar limitations. ~90 seeds/oz.
