Trionfo Violetto

Purple-podded pole snap bean with good drought tolerance. Ripened quite late in 2016 (severe drought year), early in 2017 (early to mid September - 100+ days) and late September (110-120 days) in 2018. Dry pods with slight curve at end, 6.5"x 3/8" round, with up to 10 pale tan seeds, 1/2"x1/4"x3/16". Outstandingly productive in drought years (324 seeds from 55 pods on 9 plants in part shade on a 4' trellis). Can send 10 or 15 seeds from 2024, a very-non-drought year. Possibly more from earlier years. 90% 3-year germination.
