Pinetree also used to sell Purple Peacock, another purple pole bean, which I
have good luck with, was gonna grow it this year but ran out of time. The
Trionfo is an Italian style bean which is a bit flatter (Romanesco?) Do a
search for Purple Peacock on your favorite search engine.

I just love purple beans (they turn green when you cook them). But all
I have been able to find are the bush type. Does anyone know of a
purple pole bean variety?

Pinetree Gardens has them. The variety is 'PURPLE TRIONFO
VIOLETTO'.

See: http://www.superseeds.com/VegA-B.htm (and scroll way
down to find them).
