Description

80 days. This is the most stunning and unique bean I have grown yet. Fantastic, deep red, 18" pods are so delicious and full of nutrition, and they even keep most of their color when sauteed! Long vines produce all summer and do well under many conditions. This incredible variety will draw lots of attention in your home garden or at market. We are so excited to offer this unique Chinese ethnic variety that produces fairly early. Small red seeds.

Best Bean for Hot Humid Areas 16/08/2010 14:36:15 By DentonOrganics from Denton, TX
Pros: Cons:
Love this variety, it produced huge amounts of beans until we had three weeks of 100+ degree weather. Trying to keep it alive for a few more weeks until cooler weather comes. Highly recommended for North Texas, great flavor.

BETTER THAN DESCRIBED 18/06/2010 18:43:40 By JAICY from DEEP SOUTH FLORIDA
Pros: Cons:
These beans grow deep purple with green tinges for me and turn mauve when cooked. We use the leaves in stir fry or as spinach. If you harvest these beans too early they are tasteless and stay hard. DO NOT HARVEST THESE UNTIL THEY ARE AS THICK AS A PENCIL. If they get too thick, (if seeds inside the pods start to bulge) they are way too fibrous but make great tasting small shelling beans. I didn't reach the pencil thickness until my beans were 24" long! Don't be tempted to pick them when they are still thin even if they seem super long. Harvest by thickness, not length. I live in South Florida so we grow these all year. Last month my vines were growing up to 10 inches a day, faster now. These plants need space because they really take off. We have these going up straight thin tall poles with a chicken wire top forming a roof. The vines quickly climb up but then form a lovely shadey canopy to sit under. This also allows me to harvest my beans while walking under them. The long purple pods hang down in pairs and are hard to miss. I grow organically and I had a problem with red ants loving to colonize around the roots of this bean, then swarming up and covering the flowers when they appeared. Never had that happen with beans before. About 25% of my plants were so affected.

Wow 31/12/2009 23:36:53 By Debi from TN
Pros: Cons:
These are strong climbers, fast growers, heavy producers, and the vines reached 15'. They don't seem to slow down even in the hottest weeks of summer. The flowers resemble little purple orchids. I found the beans best at a diameter approximately equal to a pencil and they are a dusty purple when cooked.

Quite Good 09/12/2009 22:09:43 By - from Southwest Michigan
Pros: Cons:
Young pods are somewhat more nutty and complex in flavor, good stir-fried in garlic with BRAGG's or soy-sauce! Good yields, no strings, even larger pods are tender. These will become a staple in our gardens.
