Royal Burgundy Bush Bean
Growing Royal Burgundy Bush Bean
‘Royal Burgundy’ is a distinctive purple-podded bush bean prized for its deep color, tender texture, and rich flavor. Compact plants produce round, stringless pods that stand out beautifully against bright green foliage. The purple pods turn green when cooked, making them especially easy to recognize when blanching.
Sow ‘Royal Burgundy’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants about 2 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 12 to 18 inches tall and grow in a compact bush habit, so no trellising is required.
Ready to harvest in about 51 days, begin picking the 5- to 5½-inch pods while they are still young, firm, and tender. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production and maintain the best texture and flavor.
Colorful, tender, and versatile, ‘Royal Burgundy’ is excellent for fresh eating, cooking, and freezing.
