Carminat Purple Filet Pole Bean

70-75 days. This oh-so-very-French Pole Bean has velvety, 10" purple pods that are perfectly smooth, slender and completely stringless. The dark green leaf-studded vines, lavender flowers and easily discovered purple Beans are as beautiful as the Beans are delicious. Once cooked, they morph from purple to dark green. Serve them au natural with a squirt of lemon and a dollop of Crème Fraîche. Magnifique! (OP.)

One packet of about 60 seeds

  • Information
  • Vertically-growing Pole Beans are as perfect for small space gardens as they are in larger potagers accented with decorative supportive architecture. Before sowing seed in the spring, first install the structures through which they will weave their wondrous vines and yield their coveted Beans. Help train them as they grow for maximum coverage and harvest. Beans are native to South America: sow when soil has reliably warmed to 60°F or by the last frost date. Harvest straight to the kitchen at their optimal size for eating, usually when small. Pick filet types when thin. Don't wait until seeds form in their tender pods because by then, the sweetness, not to mention the tender-crispness, is lost.

    Average seed life: 2-3 years.
