Dragon Tongue, Bush Beans
Aka 'Dragon Langerie' or 'Merveille de Piemonte'. This famous heirloom bean has an incomparable flavor. The tender and delicious large 6-8" cream-colored pods with vivid purple stripes disappear when blanched. Dragon Tongue is probably the best multipurpose bean available. Tasty, high-yielding, perfect for the home gardener. Pick them as a fresh snap bean when the 6-8" flat pods change from lime green to buffed yellow with bright purple stripes. When the stripes turn from purple to red, pick as a tasty shell bean. Stripes disappear completely during blanching, indicating freezer readiness. If dried beans are desired, let pods fully mature. Expect 24-30-inch tall plants. Light brown seeds with dark mottling. Very popular with gourmet chefs. Compact plants set high yields. Pods are stringless, broad, and exceptionally crisp and juicy. Matures in 50-60 days
