Climbing Bean 'Purple King'
approx 20-25 seeds
This variety of climbing bean is of a purple colour but turns green when cooked. They taste just as good or even better than the regular bean you find in stores and are an amazingly vigorous producer - with just 15 seeds you'll have beans coming out of your ears! They are best picked when about 15-20cm long and will continue to flower of a long period for an extended harvest. This bean is a climbing variety so requires a trellis or some sort of support to climb on.
