Purple Podded Tipi Bean Seeds

Have you ever seen purple beans? This variety is very productive, striking, and beautiful—the perfect addition to your garden! It flowers higher up, making it easier to harvest and preventing damage to the pods by not touching the ground. They are bush beans, not climbers, so they don't need a trellis. When cooked, they turn a deep green color.

Once pods form, it's important to harvest quickly to get tender, smooth-textured, sweet, and juicy beans. Beans that are not harvested in time can be consumed as super tasty and tender dried beans.
