They have a tender bite with phenomenal, award-winning flavor. Completely stringless, the attractive pods look as good as they taste. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTypically grown as an annual, this herbaceous short-lived perennial (Zones 7-11) has a short growing season and performs in many different climates. Algarve is a vigorous, robust indeterminate variety, growing vertically as a graceful flowering vine that requires support, such as our bean growing \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.parkseed.mom\/products\/pole-bean-growing-tower-06885\"\u003etower\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.parkseed.mom\/products\/bean-ring-set-96565\"\u003enatural bamboo ring set\u003c\/a\u003e, creating height and dimension in the garden. The vine may also be allowed to trail along the ground. Although the plant maintains a small footprint, it produces high yields for about a month. The beans are easy to harvest and earlier than most.
