| They grew well to 7 feet using Evening Colors Sunflower as supports. Nice purple flowers. As green beans they were tough without much flavor. At 90 days the beans were still no where near dry. |

| Vigorous vine; be sure you have plenty of space. Grew quickly and produced an abundant harvest. Though we harvested every few days, the beans quickly became to mature and tough. Otherwise, good taste. |

| Easy to grow. Grew well over 8 feet with abundant yield. Makes me think of adding pole beans to my personal garden. Trellis idea was a good thought but the beans grew faster than the sunflowers so we had to stake them on a pole. |

| Delicious dry beans. The plants grew vigorously once established. Beans had a long ripening period which may work well for home gardeners- with dry beans it would have been easier to have more of a limited harvest time. |
