Bean, pole Majesty
2026 AAS Edible - Vegetable Winner
Bean, pole Majesty

This outstanding (and majestic!) purple pole bean delivers on all fronts: high yield, superior quality, and rugged performance. Plants maintain dense, dark green foliage with notable resistance to insect damage and excellent recovery from summer heat stress. The pods are beautifully straight and uniform in size, making them easy to harvest due to their superb contrast against the leaves. Best of all, the beans boast a delicious, sweet flavor and tender, non-bitter texture. This early-maturing variety is a must-have for vertical gardening, guaranteeing a consistent and rewarding harvest all season long.
