A Victorian Heritage Favourite for the Modern Kitchen Garden.

Canadian Wonder has remained one of the most popular dwarf beans since the 1870s, and for good reason. This vigorous, heavy-cropping heirloom is famous for its versatility.

When harvested young, it produces long, flat, succulent green pods with a rich, traditional "beany" flavour. However, if you leave the pods to fully ripen and dry on the plant, you can harvest the glossy, dark-red seeds—the original Red Kidney Bean. This makes it the perfect variety for those looking to stock their pantry for the winter months.

Why 'Canadian Wonder' is a Must-Have:

  • Dual-Purpose Crop: Enjoy fresh green beans in summer or dried kidney beans for hearty winter stews and chillis.

  • Heritage Reliability: An heirloom variety that has stood the test of time for over 150 years.

  • Heavy Cropping: Produces large, 12-15cm pods in great abundance on sturdy, bushy plants.

  • High Nutritional Value: Dried beans are an incredible source of plant-based protein and fibre.
