Q.Mystery Purple Seeds – Beans

Anonymous added on March 26, 2015 | Answered

I’m sorting heirloom seeds from last year. Some I planted as seedlings, so I never saw the seeds. My landlord tore the garden down last year and threw all the beans in a paper bag. Argh. I have beige seeds, which are the purple podded pole bean. But I also have smaller, pinkie fingernail sized dark purple seeds, which are shiny. I had Red Swan plants and a few bush green beans. That was it. However, Red Swan seeds are larger and brown, per my friend who gave them to me. I have spent many hours researching this and would love to be relieved of this. Any ideas?

My best guess is that maybe they are climbing French beans. Their seeds are shiny dark purple.
