I have several sorts... "purple podded" offered by HSL years ago, and now Lancashire Lad which is purple podded... have to grow them on seperate plot so I don't get them mixed up when saving seeds...

That's my best photo of them...

Mine are looking fine now, but the floods wiped them out last year.
