Bean, Blauhilde

Pole. 65 days. Spectacular climbing type makes enormous purple pods! Pods stay tender and stringless, even at 10 inches long! Plants are gorgeous in the garden as well, as the rose-purple blooms contrast nicely with the rich, deep purple of the developing pods. Vigorous, productive vines reach a moderate 9 feet tall. The richly flavored pods are best appreciated when used fresh from the vines. This heirloom from Germany is resistant to mosaic virus, too.
