Snap Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) 'Trionfo Violetto' is a gardener's delight. Not only does it bear loads of tasty string beans, but it also is a very pretty vine with lavender flowers. The tasty beans grow purple on the vine, but they lighten to green when cooked.
In addition to its ornamental and culinary value, Phaseolus vulgaris is also a larval host plant for 7 different butterfly species in North America: Silver-spotted Skipper, Longtailed Skipper, Plain Longtail Skipper, Cassius Blue, Gray Hairstreak, Variegated Fritillary, and Painted Lady.

The blooms are a lovely purple as are the vines.
