Notes
'Red Noodle' long bean (Vigna unguiculata 'Red Noodle') is an annual grown for its long burgundy beans. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It climbs fast, so give it a trellis or other support. Red to burgundy flowers open from early to late summer. The vines are drought tolerant and yield plenty of beans.
Pairs well with Celosia, California poppy, and Onion.
