Disease Resistance Details
High resistance to anthracnose, bean mosaic virus, and halo blight.

We love these in summer mixed into salads with tomatoes, onions and capsicum - cooked in a broth with bay leaves and summer savoury. And in winter, the dried beans offer great flavour and texture to minestrone soups and chicken cassoulet!

For continuous harvest of fresh seeds, we successively sow this bush bean throughout the late spring and early summer. Each plant will continue to produce pods if regularly harvested.

The bean can be matured on the plant until almost dry to retain more of the green colour on the seed. For storing, we allow the pod to dry fully on the plant.

‘Flagrano’ is a descendant of ‘Flageolet vert’ or ‘Green Flageolet’. It was first obtained by a French grower called Gabriel Chevrier, in Brétigny-sur-Orge, a suburb of Paris, between 1872 and 1878.

The pods are not edible - just the beans inside. Dried beans last many, many years!
