Description

Chinese Heirloom. Lavender, pink, and mint colors blend together on these gorgeous long pods. The Mosaic Yard Long Bean has a more dense texture and intense bean flavor than green beans. An excellent choice to use in an edible ornamental garden on a trellis, where you can watch the beautiful flowers grow before your eyes into pods. The Mosaic Yard Long Bean begins harvesting at 10-12, before pods plump up; if you do miss some the mature beans can be shelled then cooked like peas.

PLANTING

Vigna unguiculata

Germination: 4-10 days

Germination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures are 75-85F

Seed Sowing Depth: 1 deep

Outside Sowing: After the last frost with soil temperatures above 70F. Sow 3- 4 apart for trellis/pole growth. Planting in soil under 60F results in poor germination.

How much does a packet plant: 10-12 foot single row

Harvest: Before the seeds bulge and beans snap easily. Pick continually every 2-3 days to prolong production.

Tips: Grow in light, well-drained soil, provide adequate, even moisture, especially at flowering time. Dry soil can result in low yields and fibrous pods. Do not over-fertilize the Mosaic Yard Long Bean with nitrogen, which results in a surplus of foliage and low, delayed pod growth.
