Clove beans – Purple | Purple nithya vazhuthana

Purple Clove Beans (Purple Nithya Vazhuthana) are a hardy perennial climbing bean producing attractive purple pods packed with flavour. Once established, this vigorous, low-maintenance vine keeps cropping for years, giving a steady supply of tender beans for thoran, stir-fries and curries. Heat- and humidity-loving, it thrives across Kerala’s climate. Plant in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-draining soil, provide a trellis to climb, and harvest young pods regularly. A perennial favourite that rewards home and terrace gardeners with minimal effort.
