A classic climbing deep purple French bean grown for its long, reliable heavy cropping. Purple King is a long-standing garden favourite valued for its productivity, easy harvesting, and dependable performance.
The beans are a rich purple when raw, making them very easy to spot at harvest time. When cooked, they turn green and reveal a tender, traditional bean flavour. Excellent for blanching and freezing - I always make sure I grow extra to freeze for out of season use. A dependable, old-fashioned garden bean that earns its place here every season.
35 seeds per packet - grown and saved at Our Mountain Garden, Tamborine Mountain QLD.
