Bean ‘Trionfo Violetto’ Pole Bean
Translated from Italian, this bean's name means "purple triumph", and this Italian heirloom will surely win you over! This treasure is a crisp, flavorful treat & highly ornamental. Abundant lavender flowers bloom against lush green foliage with a hint of burgundy that almost seems to be applied with a water-color brush. All of this accented against slender, dark stems, and long, thin, purple beans that are delicious fresh off the vine! It is so pretty you may want to grow it even if you don’t eat a single bean!
Stunning, prolific, and delicious!

Bush Bean ‘Hit Bean ‘
This little beauty is slim, fine, short and delicious even raw! Seeds of Diversity was given a small handful of these seeds from an older gentleman, who has since passed sadly, simply named "Hit" bean. Perhaps he meant they were a Hit in his garden?! Either way, the name has stuck. I grew these out for Seeds of Diversity and now I'm able to offer them to you. Easy to see why he named them a "hit"!
Very slim , short green pods, a fine bean with an absolutely delicious flavour! I am sure they will be a "Hit" in your garden too :-)

aka Chinese chives (Allium tuberosum) can be used the way you use regular chives. Distinguishable from chives by their flat, broader leaves & fragrant white edible flowers in midsummer, in the 2nd year of growth. Flowers make a great addition to bouquets. The budded flower stalks known as "gow choy" can be found in Chinese grocery stores.
Pull the florets apart and sprinkle on salads, dips, sauces, soups, stir-fries, and pizza & potato salad. Flavour is a delicate garlic, midway between garlic & onion - used extensively in oriental dishes. Good choice for those who shy away from full-flavoured garlic.
