Description

Roma II is a Romano, an Italian-type bush bean that is slow to develop seed, allowing for an extended harvest window of its high-quality beans. Roma II bush beans develop into bright green, crisp, richly flavored bush beans in about 60 days. Their wide, smooth, flat pods measure 5 1 2 inches and have reduced fiber, which enhances their eating quality. They are straight and stingless, so they do not require staking.

These beans also have a firm texture that makes them excellent for cooking or processing various dishes, including soups and stews. They re also exceptional for freezing and canning because their flavor does not fade with time or preservation.

The bush plants hold the pods up high and allow for an easy harvest of its flavorful beans. Sow your Roma II bean seeds one to 1 1 2 inches apart in rich, well-drained soil with a medium pH balance for a bountiful harvest.
