Trionfo Violetto Pole Bean

Phaseolus vulgaris

New Seed for 2026!  This purple pole bean is my favorite purple bean I’ve ever grown.  I trialed purple beans several years ago and this type from Uprising Seeds were the clear winner.  Now I offer them to you!  The plants are beautiful, with large dark green leaves, an abundance of dark purple flowers and long slender purple beans.  They are so happy here in the Northwest and easily cover my 8 foot tall trellis with abundance.  The flavor is superb both raw and cooked for all of your favorite bean recipes.  Pick regularly and you will be rewarded by this generous plant.  Grown at Pacific Crest Farm on Vashon Island.

Growing Pole Beans

Seeds can be started indoors but, in my experience, grow into healthier plants if direct sown.  Wait until soil temperatures have warmed in mid to late May.  Thin to 4”-6” apart.  Provide a sturdy trellis when you sow the seeds or as soon as they germinate-don’t wait until the growth tips are growing and falling all over.  Believe me I know because I have been guilty!  They will recover but won’t be happy.  Use anything you have around to prop them up- bamboo, rebar, an old piece of fencing perhaps?  Grow in full sun.
