Tiger Bean

This variety was grown in Cooma, South Australia, during the mid-1940s by our donor's father, who was known for his prize-winning skills as a vegetable gardener. It's an early, vigorous and easy-to-grow bean producing small mauve-pink flowers followed by stringless green pods that develop 'tiger stripes' when fully mature. Tender and with great flavour when eaten fresh; the striped dried beans are both eye-catching and tasty. Seed colour whitish with black stripes.
