Purple pole beans typically grow to a height of 1.8-2.0m (6-7′) tall. These climbing vines require vertical space to grow, so it’s important to provide them with a sturdy fence, poles, or trellising for support. I actually had the opportunity to grow these beans in my own garden last year, and I was amazed by how tall they grew!
I remember planting the purple pole bean seeds in early spring and eagerly waiting for them to sprout. As the days passed, I noticed tiny green shoots emerging from the soil. I carefully tended to them, ensuring they received enough water and sunlight. Before I knew it, the vines started to climb and reach for the sky.
The purple pole beans grew vigorously, rapidly ascending towards the sky. Their lush green leaves provided a beautiful contrast against the vibrant purple color of the beans. It was truly a sight to behold!
I had set up a trellis for the beans to climb on, and they eagerly embraced it. As the vines continued to grow, they gracefully wound themselves around the trellis, creating a stunning vertical display in my garden. It was like having a living, edible wall of purple beans!
The height of the purple pole beans was impressive, and I found it fascinating to watch them reach their full potential. Their vertical growth allowed me to maximize the use of space in my garden, as they didn’t spread out horizontally like bush beans. Instead, they reached for the sky, utilizing the vertical space efficiently.
In addition to their height, the purple pole beans also produced an abundance of delicious beans. The vibrant purple color added a pop of visual interest to my meals, and the flavor was simply delightful. I loved adding them to salads, stir-fries, and even pickling them for a tangy snack.
My experience growing purple pole beans was incredibly rewarding. Not only did they reach impressive heights, but they also provided a bountiful harvest of tasty beans. If you have the vertical space available, I highly recommend giving these beautiful and delicious beans a try in your own garden.
