Phaseolus vulgaris
Enjoy beautiful striped climbing beans--purple, gray and the occasional yellow! Hopi Purple String Beans are highly productive, especially when started early-- they can climb 10+ feet! Eat as a green bean when young and as a dried bean. Seeds originally sourced from Hopi farmers have been grown in Colorado for many seed generations since.
Planting Instructions: Sow Hopi Purple String Bean seeds directly in the ground 2" deep, 3" apart in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Keep moist until germinated. They need a cornstalk, sunflower stalk, fence or trellis to climb.
Seed Saving Instructions: Allow pods to fully dry on the vine. Pick dried pods into a bin and crush to dislodge beans. Store beans in a paper or mesh bag to ensure they dry fully and remain dry.
Approx 30 Hopi Purple String Bean seeds per packet.
