Phaseolus vulgaris "Dragon Langerie"
Tender 7” yellow pods with bright purple streaks make this bean appealing to the eye and the taste buds. Excellent eaten fresh or as a shell or dry bean. The purple color does fade unfortunately during cooking. Pods are flat, crisp and juicy when fresh. This Dutch heirloom is a popular choice.

Plant bean seeds after all danger of frost has passed, and soil temperature is 48F minimum. Plants need 6-8 hours sunlight per day. Sow seeds 1" deep, 4-6" apart, in rows that are 2-3' apart. Seeds may be started indoors.
Water deeply and regularly. Weed carefully as they have shallow roots.
Bush beans mature all at the same time and must be harvested at once. If allowed to sit longer than a day or two, the flavor suffers.
Plant a new crop every two weeks for a continuous harvest. Bush beans may be grown in containers.
