Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a vigorous fast-growing vine, reaching a height of 3 meters or more, which requires mandatory installation of supports. The variety is early-maturing. The pod length is 20–30 cm, they have a slightly rough texture and green color. The seeds are large, acquiring a marbled color with violet-black spots on a light background when ripe.

The variety is versatile: young pods are consumed as green beans, and mature seeds are suitable for long-term storage. Due to its bright red flowers, the plant is often used for vertical landscaping. The variety is heat-loving, sensitive to frost, and requires regular watering. Seeds require mandatory heat treatment before consumption due to the content of lectins.
