Purple Queen Heirloom Bush Green Bean Seeds grow strong, compact, upright bushes 12 to 14 inches tall that produce many deep, glossy purple pods 5 to 7 1/2 inches long. Known for tender texture and rich taste, the colorful raw pods are great in salads or minced into sandwich spreads, and they turn brilliant dark green when cooked. Very hardy and productive.

Keep the bed weed-free with adequate moisture, and plant in spring, summer, or fall.
