Description

Grow something eye-catching in your vegetable garden this year with Purple King climbing bean seeds . These outstanding heirloom seeds produce long, flat, dark purple beans that turn a deep green when cooked, making them as visually unique as they are tasty.

The Purple King climbing bean has a long harvest window and gives great yields for the space it occupies, especially in warm weather. Plants will reach impressive heights and will benefit from support as they grow. The colourful beans have excellent flavour and are incredibly versatile in the kitchen—they're delicious steamed, sautéed, or even grilled.

How to Sow Seeds

Method: Sow seeds 25 mm (1”) deep in dark, damp soil, spacing them 10-15 cm (4-6”) apart, allowing 50-60 cm (1.5-2') between rows.
Growing notes: Purple King climbing bean seeds are wonderfully easy edibles to grow! Avoid watering for a day or two after sowing. Ensure the danger of frost has passed and protect plants from wind. Plant in 1-3m (3-10') rows and remove weeds regularly. Keep the roots cool—a mulch of garden compost will help considerably. Water well during dry periods. No additional fertiliser is needed, as legumes produce their own nitrogen. Purple King is a climbing plant and will require support by way of a trellis or netting. Pinch out tips to encourage bushy growth and harvest regularly to increase yields.
