Phaseolus vulgaris
Family: Fabaceae
Another unique Robert Lobitz Variety. Purple dove produces great 'determinant' yields of straight, 6" dark purple snap beans that were selected for preservation as "dilly beans." The attractive stocky plants are easy to pick. Close attention to fruit maturation is important as they will go past prime quickly. Catch em at the right time and can yourself some great "dilly beans"!
