Dwarf Bean Purple Queen Seeds

‘Purple Queen’ French beans are the sort of fun, sassy crop every stylish gardener wants to grow in their good-looking veg plot. They race up their supports, burst into shocking magenta flower, and then produce hundreds of gorgeous regal purple beans.

‘Purple’ Queen is a stunning plant with deep glossy purple pods, dark purplish green foliage and delicate purple flowers: wasted in the vegetable patch! The plants are upright, compact and bushy and can be grown in pots and containers.
Of course with beans it’s all about flavour, Purple Queen is one of the best eating beans around. The taste is wonderfully fresh with a crisp, clean aftertaste and the fact that they are also stringless heightens the culinary experience.
Never, ever liken home grown beans to those that you buy in the shops. Home grown beans are eaten for pure pleasure, shop beans are eaten as one of your obligatory ‘five a day’.

The pods are attractive and round with a waxy finish. They can be eaten whole or sliced, and are also good for freezing. Best picked when around the thickness of a pencil and as with most legumes, the more you pick the better your crop will be.
Delicious though they are straight from the plant, please practice moderation, raw beans can be unhealthy when eaten to excess!
