These took quite a while to grow here in Delaware, but once they are on, they are AMAZING! They do lose their color in cooking, but they are delicious! Tender and flavorful.

My favorite bush bean ever. I felt like a magician growing them last year. Even though a bunny nibbled my early plants down to nubbins I put up a little fence to keep her out and they bounced back. They are so pretty with the purple. Picking them is like finding treasures in the garden. Saw them sell out a couple of times at the farmers market and felt proud I had my own little crop waiting for me in my garden.
