As an open‑pollinated variety, it spread rapidly among home gardeners and became popular for its early harvest and compact growth.

In the following years, it spread quickly in North American home gardens and, from the early 1990s onward, appeared in European garden catalogues as well, sometimes under the popular name “Zauberbohne”.

It belongs to the climbing \u003cem\u003ePhaseolus vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e types valued for their long, golden‑yellow, stringless pods. As an open‑pollinated variety, it was selected from established wax‑bean lines and adapted to a wide range of garden soils.

This early documentation marks the beginning of its varietal history and already presents it as a classic wax bean that quickly established itself in Central European gardening. In the following years, it spread widely in home and self‑sufficiency gardens, where its long, fleshy pods and dependable cultivation performance became well known.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts golden‑yellow colour gave it a distinctive character early on, making it instantly recognisable both in the garden and in the kitchen. From the beginning, ‘Neckargold’ impressed with robust plants, consistent pod set and stable yields, even in changeable summers. With its mild‑sweet flavour and strong resilience, it developed into one of Europe’s best‑known yellow pole beans. To this day, it is regarded as a trusted heritage variety of the 1960s and remains a staple in ecological and private cultivation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Neckargold’ is annual, herbaceous and strongly climbing.

It belongs to the classic climbing \u003cem\u003ePhaseolus vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e types, valued for their exceptionally long, violet, stringless pods. As an open‑pollinated variety, it has been stabilised over decades through gardener selection and adapted to a wide range of garden soils. Botanically, it belongs to the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae, genus \u003cem\u003ePhaseolus\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first documented mention of the variety dates to 1964, when it was described in the German horticultural reference \u003cem\u003e“Das Lexikon der alten Gemüsesorten”\u003c\/em\u003e as a new violet pole bean with stringless pods and high yield reliability. As a colour‑intense post‑war bean, it spread rapidly through Central European kitchen gardens during the 1960s and 1970s and became established in European gardening publications. Since then, it has been regarded as a robust, colour‑stable and productive variety with exceptionally long pods for home and farm gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts violet colour was considered a special feature that attracted attention both in cultivation and in the kitchen. Particularly characteristic is the so‑called “magic bean effect”: the deep‑violet pods turn a bright emerald green when cooked – a colour change that made it a beloved children’s and family bean in many households. The variety proved especially reliable in regions with changeable summers, as it flowers consistently, offers long harvest periods and produces stable yields even under less‑than‑ideal conditions. In smallholder and self‑sufficiency gardens, it is still valued today for its long, stringless pods, mild‑aromatic flavour and high resilience, and remains one of Europe’s most popular violet pole beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Blauhilde’ is annual, herbaceous and strongly climbing.

Their mild, delicate aroma makes them versatile – from traditional home cooking to modern vegetable cuisine. Young pods pair well with herbs such as summer savoury, tarragon or lemon thyme and fit perfectly into bowls, pasta dishes, summer vegetable pans and light curries. ‘Blauhilde’ also works beautifully in oven dishes, hearty gratins, stuffed vegetables, rice and grain pans, warm mezze, vegetable antipasti, fine vegetable creams, bean pesto, marinated grilled vegetables, summer salads, vegetable chips and aromatic soup garnishes.

Today, red‑flowered forms of broad bean have become rare, although they have been documented since the 19th century and were continuously maintained within small‑scale farming preservation systems. The variety is open‑pollinated, true‑to‑seed and shaped by regional selection as well as adaptation to different garden soils. Botanically, it belongs to the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae, genus \u003cem\u003eVicia\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first mention of ‘Crimsonia’ dates back to 1907, when it was described in the British publication \u003cem\u003e“The Gardeners’ Chronicle”\u003c\/em\u003e as a \u003cem\u003e“crimson‑flowered broad bean with richly coloured blossoms”\u003c\/em\u003e. In traditional gardens, the variety was valued for its striking flower colour, its early flowering habit and its reliable yields. Even under variable weather conditions it produces consistently and can be used both as a fresh bean and as a dry bean. Its pronounced cold tolerance made it one of the most reliable broad beans for regions with cool springs, establishing it as a preferred home‑garden variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver generations, ‘Crimsonia’ was cultivated in smallholder kitchen gardens, where it was appreciated for its robust nature, good standability and ability to thrive even in less‑than‑ideal soils. Its decorative blossoms, mild nutty flavour and yield reliability made it a staple in mixed plantings and self‑sufficiency gardens. To this day, ‘Crimsonia’ is grown for its combination of ornamental value, culinary quality and agronomic reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Crimsonia’ is annual and herbaceous, forming upright, bushy plants with sturdy, angular stems and medium‑green foliage.

They are also suitable for creamy spreads, protein‑rich soups, Middle Eastern rice dishes, crispy oven roasts, and as a base for plant‑based burger patties. The flour of the dark seeds is traditionally used for flatbreads, pancakes, and pastries, giving dishes a warm colour and a fine roasted flavour.
