Cultivars
Purple Climber
Climbing bean

Can grow all year round, but easiest yields per the Planting Months table. Only in the shade and with protection from other plants (bean fly will damage the plant) outside this range.
Not stringy, but like all beans better picked when younger
Seed collection and drying for replanting is easily done
