Purple-Podded Climbing French Bean produces long, curved, deep purple pods that stand out clearly against the green foliage. Easy to spot at harvest time, which means fewer pods get missed and go tough. The pods turn green when cooked.

Vigorous climbing variety that needs strong support. Stringless and tender when picked young. Decorative enough to grow on a garden archway or fence where it doubles as an ornamental plant.
