BEAN - PURPLE KING - climbing

Phaseolus vulgaris

Purple King has straight,, flat beans that are bright
purple in colour, contrasting with the green leaves
It crops over an extended period and is a prolific
producer of the best tasting beans. Cook lightly,
otherwise the pods will turn green in colour, hence
its other name, Magic Bean. Purple King is a
lovely addition to the home vegetable garden. It has
straight, flat beans that are a bright contrasting
purple colour to the green foliage making them
easy to spot when picking. It has a long picking
time, over a number of weeks and is a very prolific
producer. Direct sow the seeds 15cm apart in
rows that are 45cm apart. Gently push the seed into
the soil, cover lightly and water. Poor germination
generally reflects over watering and rotting of seed.
Beans are a nitrogen fixing crop. Sow in Spring to
Summer in a well drained, full sun position. Make
sure the soil is not too acidic by the addition of
woodash, lime or dolomite.
