Phaseolus vulgaris "Dragon Langerie"
Dragon's Tongue Bush Beans are a type of heirloom bean that is named for its unique appearance. These beans have a pale yellow, flattened pod with purple streaks that resemble a dragon's tongue. The beans themselves are ivory in color with maroon streaks, and they have a sweet, nutty flavor with a tender texture.
Dragon's Tongue Bush Beans are easy to grow and are typically planted in the spring or early summer. They prefer well-drained soil and full sun exposure, and they can be harvested in about 60 days. These beans are versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes, such as salads, stir-fries, and soups. They are also a good source of protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients.

Approx seeds per order 25
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.
