Good bean for rainy climates
by Ordinary World
One of the best for coastal areas. Grows right through a cold, rainy June without missing a beat, and can keep producing into the autumn so long as it doesn't freeze.
Perfect Bean!
by Kasey
I love these beans! They were so easy to grow and produced so many! Purple beans are a lot easier to find on the bush than green, and that alone made them amazing. But the flavor is great too, and they can and cook well.
