A very special variety developed on the Annapolis Seeds farm, originating from a purple off-type of Candy Bean from 2010. Heavy yields from bush plants. Dependable and early, usually drying down in early September from a June 1 sowing. The beans are very large, with a nice silky texture when cooked. Also delicious when picked in the plump shell stage, then shucked from their pods and boiled in salty water like edamame. Named in honour of our local Bay, who's stormy tides frequently unearth amethyst from the basalt cliffs. 20+ large seeds. Grown by Annapolis Seeds. Note: This variety is still a work in progress; less than 100% stable. About 5% of plants each year seem to revert back to the pink colour of their parent variety Candy.
