Supplied as a packet of approximately 250 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.This bean has been nicknamed the magic bean in our house. The pods start off a beautiful purple colour (which looks stunning in salads) but when you steam thm they turn green, as if by magic! The beans have a lovely flavour and our kids love them! Why not grow the yellow (Hildora) and green (Tendergreen) ones too for a truly rainbow effect.
Produces a lovely, long (slightly curved) dark purple bean with a high yield. Easy to grow and well worth it. Does require a little support to get the best results from the plants.
