i haven't grown enough all purple podded beans to give a good opinion.
my great uncle steve italian pole beans are streaked with purple similar to rattle snake. it is a very good bean. it doesn't do well in extreme heat. in the metro detroit
area once the temps were at or near 90 degrees for a sustained period of time, production would taper off before starting up again once it cooled off a bit.
flavor is right up there with the best. production is pretty good most years.
