In Italian Fagiolino is small bean, dolichos means "bean-eye" or bean with an eye, di Veneto is "from Veneto". Therefore this is a small bean with an eye from the Veneto region. Sweet, nutty flavor. Unusual growth habit: pods grow upright like antlers, which facilitates picking. Harvest pods when very thin for use as a snap bean, larger for dried use (cowpea or black-eyed pea).
Very productive; one planting provides an entire season‘s harvest and seeds for next season. This rare bean is in high demand and low supply - save your seeds for next year!

Planting Instructions
Cowpeas need warm, well-drained soil and at least 6 -8 hours of full sun. When all danger of frost is past, and the ground is thoroughly warm, plant beans 1.5" deep, every 3 - 4", firming soil over seeds. Water weekly in dry weather. Planting every 3 weeks until midsummer assures a continous supply of beans.
