Whats the borlotti one Lish

[Hyacinth]

It's an Italian one..climbing bean, left to mature as a haricot bean. (Young pods are like flageolets). Ever so pretty. Green pods splashed with red. Beans can be dried and used through the winter in stews, etc.

Interested? My spare pack is taken - but my own pack is still ever so full!
