The Purple Podded Pole Bean is an heirloom variety celebrated for its striking deep purple pods and robust growth habit. These vigorous climbers reach up to 8 feet tall, producing abundant, slender pods that are 5-7 inches long. The beans inside are green and tender, offering a delicious, slightly sweet flavor. They are stringless. When cooked, the pods turn green, adding visual interest to any dish. This variety thrives in well-drained soil with full sun exposure, maturing in about 65-75 days. Highly productive and resistant to common bean diseases, Purple Podded Pole Beans are ideal for fresh eating, canning, and freezing, making them a favorite among gardeners.
Not only is this a beautiful bean to grow, but it is also a large bean that is very tender. The purple color helps it stand out when you harvest the beans, and it's harder for it to hide in the leaves. Sadly, the color changes to green if you boil it, but it doesn't take on a woody texture if it goes a couple of days too long before it's picked. I grew this bean in an Earthbox (container) with a trellis, and it produced a lot of beans in a small space. This is one of my favorite beans, and I will keep growing it in my Michigan garden.
Picked our first harvest of “purple beans” this morning and wow! They are huge and very pretty purple. I included a picture with a normal green bean and the gold rush wax bean for comparison. My 4 year old was proudly showing off her “purple beans” to everyone. I think I had 100% germination for these too.
I have loved growing purple pole beans since I was a kid. They are very easy to grow even as a kid. They are easy to find and harvest. Plus tasty. This seed order did not disappoint. Very happy gardener.
Growing beautifully!
We just planted the seed and it's up so we can't do an honest review. We are a zone 3 area so we'll have to wait and see. Shipping was fast

This is only my third go with gardening and so naturally I thought: “I oughta plant a few extras just in case”. Shortly after sown, 22 of 24 of the sunspot dwarf sunflower seeds have germinated! No clue where I’ll put them all yet but it’s a problem I’m happy to have. 🙂 Note:
One was not in the photo, I hadn’t moved it over to the larger pot yet. Also, If you’re a first time grower of sunflowers, please know this will not be enough room for this many of them. This photo is of a temporary home for them for just a few days while I sort more space. I didn’t plan to have so many growing this year. #Grow Bigger
This seed germinated beautifully!
I ordered two Natchez Blackberry plugs. If I had known the quality I would have ordered more! There was great care taken into consideration when it came to shipping these live plants. They arrived fully intact with not even a broken leaf. I'm hoping to expand my berry patch with thornless berries. Im tired of the old way of leaving sweat and tears in the berry patch. I'll definitely order more if given the chance.
Trying something I heard about. Planted sweet peas in the extra space around my asparagus. So far, so good.
These San Marzano tomatoes have the most robust stems of all my tomato plants. First time tomato gardener but I have high hopes for this sauce tomato cultivar! I am already rooting a clone because it is doing so well. Can't wait for the fruit!
