Bright Violet Pods All Season Long!
Pole Bean Trionfo Violetto
An Italian heirloom with tender texture and delicious flavor.
This French-type pole bean should be harvseted when slender and young for the most succulent bite.
75 days from sowing. Well, you simply must try this stunning violet Italian heirloom. Not only are the pods beautiful, but the foliage even gets into the act, setting purple streaks on its fresh green leaves. And Trionfo Violetto is a heavy producer, tossing up new pods all summer and into fall in some climates.
This is a French-type pole bean best harvested at about 6 inches, when it is no wider than a drinking straw. The bite is so succulent and sweet and the flavor truly "beany." Not to mention the plate appeal of that rich purple pod!
Beans are among the easiest of all vegetables to grow, and the entire plant improves the soil by fixing nitrogen in the soil. Every garden should grow beans, if just to plow the plants under at the end of the season! Give them sunshine, something to climb, and any well-drained soil, and off they go! Pkt is 100 seeds.

Trionfo Violetto adds some color
I have grown Trionfo Violetto for three years. Compared to Kentucky Blue, it starts bearing a little later, as it climbs first, then starts flowering. Be sure to pick when about the size of a pencil, as they get a little tough if they get away from you. Lovely purple vines too. Vines may exceed 8 feet in good conditions.
