description

The organic dwarf bean 'Merveille du Piémont' is an old variety of Phaseolus vulgaris that stands out as much for the elegance of its bicolored pods as for its great generosity in the garden. With its semi-climbing habit, it brings a flexible and productive silhouette to the vegetable garden, while remaining easy to guide on a light support. Its long yellow pods streaked with purple illuminate the rows and make harvesting particularly pleasant, almost like a treasure hunt among the summer foliage. Crunchy, tender, and slightly sweet, they reveal a subtle hazelnut note that lends itself equally well to fresh preparations and simmered dishes. Like other beans, this variety enriches the garden's dynamic by contributing to soil fertility, making it a crop that is as decorative as it is useful. It appreciates sunny locations and loose, well-drained soil, where it grows quickly and produces abundantly with little maintenance. Harvested young for its pods or later for its seeds, it offers great versatility that extends the interest of the crop throughout the season. Colorful, flavorful, and productive, 'Merveille du Piémont' is an excellent choice for gardeners who like to combine yield, originality, and culinary pleasure.
