Compact and small plant that does not require any supports to grow to maturity. Alot of bean pods per plant and early marturing. A lovely, spotted red baking bean, “King” ripens early and then expands to several times its original size when soaked.

Often used in chili, refried beans, baked beans, soups and salads. Like a Jacob’s cattle bean.
