Notes
'Dragon's Tongue' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Dragon's Tongue') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It is a unique, flashy heirloom with a climbing habit and rapid growth. Give it a trellis or other support so the vines can climb.
Pairs well with Striped German tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Nigra hollyhock.
