Ayocote Morado bean, also known as Purple Runner bean, is a stunning heirloom variety prized for its vibrant purple color and robust flavor. Native to Mexico, this climbing bean produces large, hearty beans perfect for stews, soups, and salads. The plants are vigorous climbers, reaching up to 12 feet, and thrive in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Maturing in about 90-100 days, Ayocote Morado beans are celebrated for their high protein content and rich, meaty texture.
I like trying to grow this bean to share with my dad who grew up eating this bean in his youth in Mexico. I live in south Texas and it grows best for me during the fall as it does not like our warm springs and summer.
So I took the decision of buying another packet to try them out this season!
Can't wait to try them ! You always put more seeds than what's written on your packages and that's a plus ! Thank you !
Here’s what happened when I planted there beans. They grew and grew AND grew! Beautiful red flowers … which I love for the bees and hummingbirds. I planted my whole pkg 10 seeds. I think I planted them a little late… the plants were still at least twelve feet tall with tons of flowers… but I didn’t get hardly beans that were ready when the frost came. I ended up with 16 seeds. I will definitely plants these again but I will get them in the ground much earlier. I have one question…The seed packet says maturing in 90-100 days and the plant attributes says matures in 65 days. … big difference. I love this company and bought almost all of my seeds from Ml
The order came very quickly. The beans haven't come up yet. I have always been satisfied with my orders. Thank you.

I grew this in a straw bale garden in 2025 and really enjoyed it. It grew amazingly well and was beautiful, so I purchased more for 2026. Michigan zone 6b.
I have grown these for the last few years and they are hands down my favorite. I like romas and firm tomatoes. These remind me of mini romas. These are less prone to splitting, super easy to harvest and has a super great flavor and very meaty. YUM!
The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
Received 9 or 10 large, nice quality cloves of elephant garlic. Packaged nicely. Planted them right up and looking forward to seeing what sprouts next season.
Sicilian was by far the best clove Size and quality
