It is from the plains surrounding the picturesque city that these speckled red-orange beans hail. With its designated Slow Food presidium, \u003cem\u003efagioli Rossa di Lucca\u003c\/em\u003e is part of the local food landscape and featured in hearty faro and vegetable soups, \u003cem\u003epasta e fagioli, \u003c\/em\u003eor just simply cooked and served with sage and good olive oil. Compact bushes yield early and heavy harvests of the striking rose-to-pink-to-orange beans with dark burgundy speckles. A versatile and beautiful dry bean for the winter pantry, well-adapted to our PNW climate.

Beans can produce their own usable nitrogen from atmospheric nitrogen through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that colonize specialized nodules in their roots. Too much soil fertility can cause excessive vegetative growth at the expense of pod set and maturity.\u003cbr\u003eBeans prefer well-drained warm soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADDITIONAL NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeans prefer warm soils and may rot at lower temperatures.
