The Perfect Pole Bean. At least in my opinion, but let me list the ways. First, the whole plant is beautiful, but I say that about many vegetables. Seriously though, blossoms, foliage & vines and the beans themselves are among the prettiest things in the garden. Second, at my latitude in Rochester, New York, these are also prolific across the summer well into the fall and easy to grow. But again, these are pole beans, they must be given vertical space. Which means they grow well in big containers if kept well watered. Next, they are tasty, stringless and remain quite edible even when big. Finally: Trionfo Violetto is a heritage bean and one of the easiest from which to harvest seed. Just leave a few pods on the vine and come back when they are dry, Keep the seed or even whole pods in a paper sack. The seeds will keep for several years. In fact, I haven’t bought seed for this bean in about 20 years. It is perfect.
