A spicy name for a sweet, tender, stringless golden butter bean. An old Australian heirloom that is a great talking point in the garden and around the table. Taken from an old seed catalogue - 'Sensuous and tender, the golden curves of this dwarf butter wax bean are available to all with no strings attached'. Small, compact bush that is early producing and highly productive. Pick daily from 50 days, great for freezing.
Seed count: 2-4/g.
