Product Details

Trionfo Violetto' translates to "purple triumph", and this Italian heirloom will surely win you over with its thin, crisp, flavorful purple pods. Highly ornamental, plants climb 6'–8', and have abundant lavender flowers that bloom against lush green leaves with purple veins and stems; you'll be harvesting beans until late summer. Like other purple beans, the pods magically turn green when cooked!

When to Sow Outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 65°F, ideally 70°–85°F. Successive Sowings: Every 7 to 14 days up to 80 days before your average first fall frost date. NOTE: In very hot summer areas, skip sowing as high heat approaches; temperatures consistently above 90°F will prevent beans from forming.

Growing Info

Harvesting: Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when seeds have just begun to form and the pods are several inches long (depending on the variety). Hold stem with one hand and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches, which will continue to produce. Harvesting early and often will stimulate flower production for more beans. At season's end, plants are great compost material if they are disease-free.

    These Beans are the Bomb!!

    I am on the 8th picking at least and they are still flowering in Z5a, WI. They are planted N-S and I will use a cattle panel arch next year. I surely didn’t have high enough trellis, but the asparagus on the backside of this hedge is helping out 😂. Vigorous vines! A little slow on the start, but wait as they take off!😂

    It was difficult to keep up especially in extreme heat we just had. They can turn into baseball bats fast and keeping them picked helps production. The taste is very good and I don’t believe the large ones had strings or tuff.

    Highly recommended!!

    I’m not a huge string bean fan, but these are absolutely delicious. I will for sure be growing double the amount next year. They are tender, stringless, and savory. I find the flavor to be less sharp and “green” than the average string bean. I’ve yet to try them cooked (they don’t make it past my garden gate), but I imagine they’d be great sautéed with garlic. Production definitely slowed down when we had some persistent dry summer heat, but now that we’re getting more rain the beans seem to be making a comeback. I also had some pest issues when I first planted them out, so it was a slower start, but they recovered surprisingly well.
