BLUE JAY. A heavy-cropping bred by Russell Crow of Capron, Illinois in the USA who discovered it among a grow out of Comtesse de Chambord beans in 1977. It has attractive, speckle purple and green slender pods. Very nice eating. Does well from an early sowing under cloches and is ideal for growing in containers. Has the most beautiful speckled blue seeds too.
