Bean 'Silvio's Yellow Flat'
Phaseolus vulgarisSilvio’s Yellow Flat bean is more than just a delicious, prolific heirloom—it’s a living tribute to resilience, tradition, and the migrant story. Brought to Australia by Italian families from the Veneto region, near the Austrian border, this treasured bean has been lovingly passed down through generations, shared among tight-knit communities in places like Wonthaggi and generously brought to us by Andrew Henshaw.

Bean 'Silvio's Yellow Flat'
These fast growing annuals should be direct sown or planted out after all risk of frost has passed. Pick daily for highest yields. Well drained, pH neutral to alkaline soil is ideal, as is the addition of potassium and blood and bone. Mulch around your beans thoroughly- beans are shallow rooted and are easily damaged with close cultivation. Beans can be used fresh, they also freeze well or can be left on the plant to develop large, dried seeds which can be used in soups and stews.
