Purple Peacock

Phaseolus vulgaris

Vining plants - 2m (6 feet) - with dark green leaves and pretty lilac flowers produce heavy yields of delicious, tender, and stringless 5"-7" purple pods that turn green when cooked.

Growing instructions:

Direct seed 5cm (2") deep, 5-8cm (2-3") apart as soon as soil is warm, in rows 45cm (18") apart. Thin to 15cm (6") apart. 8-16 days to germination. For dried beans, stop watering when the pods first start to dry. Harvest when all pods are dry, then store in a dry place with good airflow out of direct sunlight to dry completely before shelling.
