Purple Peacock Pole Bean is a simply beautiful plant with dark purple pods, twining stems, light purple flowers, and dark leaves. This pretty variety is a very striking and useful screen in the garden and grows to 6 ft. tall. These beans flower first of all the bean varieties and handle cool conditions well. Purple pods to 5" long keep their flavor and tenderness long after they are picked, and turn green when cooked.
Space plants about 6-8 inches apart. Plant in full sun in well amended soil, and water regularly. Grow these vigorous vines on a tall trellis. Harvest before the seeds inside start to develop.
They are very versatile and can be used like any green bean. Try them sauteed with tomatoes, onion and garlic, then sprinkle with some feta cheese.
