Want to learn more about our purple teepee bean seeds? We answer your questions here.

What do purple teepee beans taste like?

The taste of purple teepee beans is subtle with a slight earthiness and hints of sweetness. They are delicately nutty alongside the familiar taste of climbing or French beans.

Are purple teepee beans bush or pole?

Purple Teepee Beans grow with a bushy habit and do not require support like climbing or pole beans. They produce small plants with a profusion of long purple pods.
