Notes
'Amethyst' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Amethyst') is a climbing vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows at a rapid rate, so give it a trellis or poles to climb. The flowers come in purple, green, and burgundy.
Pairs well with Honey corn, German Pink Tomato tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
