Bean Pole Purple Podded is a storied heirloom with deep American roots, originating from Henry Fields' Ozark Mountain selections in the 1930s. This variety has earned enduring respect among heritage gardeners for its vigor, productivity, and distinctive ornamental qualities. Vigorous vines climb 6 to 7 feet, producing abundant lilac-colored blossoms that attract pollinators while signaling prolific pod development ahead. The plant yields generous quantities of tender, bright purple pods that deliver exceptional flavor fresh or cooked—the striking purple color transforms to vibrant green during cooking, creating visual contrast in prepared dishes. The tender texture and refined taste distinguish this heirloom from modern commercial varieties, making it equally suited to fresh preparations and preservation. A predictable 75-day maturity window and robust 80% or higher germination rate ensure reliable performance across diverse growing regions and skill levels. Non-GMO certification preserves genetic integrity and enables seed-saving for future seasons, supporting long-term garden sustainability. The vertical growth habit maximizes productivity in limited space while simplifying harvest logistics. Environmentally responsible packaging reflects a commitment to ecological stewardship. For gardeners seeking authentic heirloom character combined with proven productivity and culinary excellence, Purple Podded delivers heritage authenticity with modern reliability.
