Why Choose Royalty Purple Bush Bean?
- Stunning Purple Color: Vibrant purple pods, foliage, and flowers make this one of the most visually striking beans in any garden.
- Color-Change Magic: Purple pods turn green when cooked — a fun, kid-friendly variety that’s as educational as it is delicious.
- Cool Soil Germination: Germinates reliably in cooler, wet soil conditions where other bean varieties struggle — great for early season planting.
- Stringless 5" Pods: Tender, stringless pods at 55 days — no prep hassle, exceptional fresh-eating quality.
- Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Passed down through generations — save seeds year after year for a self-sustaining garden.
- Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.
Planting Tips for Success
- Sunlight: Requires full sun — at least 6 to 8 hours per day — for best growth and pod production.
- Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8. Royalty is notably tolerant of cooler, wetter soils at germination.
- Planting: Direct sow outdoors after last frost when soil temps reach 50°F or above. Earlier sowing than most bush beans is possible thanks to Royalty’s cool-soil tolerance.
- Spacing: Sow seeds 1 inch deep, 2–3 inches apart in rows 18–24 inches apart. Thin to 4–6 inches apart.
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist; avoid overhead watering once flowers appear to prevent pod issues.
- Fertilizing: Minimal fertilization needed — beans fix atmospheric nitrogen. A light balanced fertilizer at planting is sufficient.
- Succession Planting: Sow every 2–3 weeks for a continuous harvest through the season.
- Harvesting: Ready in 55 days. Pick pods when 5 inches long and still deep purple for best flavor. Harvest frequently to encourage continued production.
