Pole bean, Beauty of Richigen
Phaseolus vulgaris var. vulgaris
Beauty of Richigen comes from the valleys of Emmental. It rightly deserves its name as it is beautiful in both appearance and flavour. It is delicious as a green bean—tender and full of flavour; as a dry bean it gives shiny black seeds. Because of its quality and versatility it is gaining popularity throughout the country.
Growing instructions
Sow from mid-May to the beginning of June at a distance of 60 cm. Place about 4 beans 2 cm deep in a circle pattern. As they say, “Beans must hear the bells ringing.” So do not sow them too deep. Stick a 2.5 m stake in the circle to give the beans a climbing trail for their tendrils. They respond well to ample compost. Gardener Tip: Soak seeds for 12 hours in lukewarm chamomile tea before sowing.
