Runner Bean Black Knight

Juicy and almost stringless runner bean which produces lots of pods which graduate from green to dark purple/almost black as they age. It is reported to have been grown by the Bishop of Shrewsbury, Edmund Knight, and to have been passed to some of the local congregants in the late 1800’s. The beans may look a little more gnarly than most, but they are tender and juicy even when the beans begin to show.
