Bean, Pole - Asparagus Yard-Long seeds
Description
Description
The Red-Seeded Asparagus Yard-Long Pole Bean says it all—very long asparagus-green and -flavored pods with red beans inside, except it grows to only half its claim. Also called Snake Bean or Chinese Long Bean, but why use half the words, too? Thank goodness it’s stringless, or you’d spend all day stringing pods in the heat that it loves. Vigorous vines can grow to 12'. For best umami flavor, harvest when 8"-12" long and the width of a pencil.
- Easy to grow
- Stringless variety
- Heat loving
- Umami flavor
- Heirloom, open-pollinated green pole bean variety
- Distinctive red seeds inside mature pods
- Grows up to 6–8 feet in height on support structures
- Produces long, slender pods reaching 12–18 inches in length
- Ideal for fresh eating, canning, and freezing
Care Instructions
Plant seeds directly into well-drained soil after the last frost date in your region, at a depth of about 1–1.5 inches. Soil temperature should be at least 60°F for optimal germination. Ensure the plants are supported with trellises or stakes as they grow. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Seeds can be saved for future planting by letting beans mature on the vine, then harvesting and drying the seeds properly.

Safe Seed Pledge
Safe Seed Pledge
OUR PLEDGE TO YOU
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.
We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. We don't touch that stuff and we never will.
The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.
Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated). Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.
To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
