Legumes-Beans-Snake Beans ‘Red Dragon’
$4.00
A great favourite for warm and tropical areas. It produces big crops of long, rounded pods which are stringless and delicious to eat. Best picked when young and tender. You can let them mature and harvest the beans too.
‘Red Dragon’ produces 60 – 70cm long, dark green slender pods with a small red-brown tip; seed is red coloured. Highly productive and can be picked for approx. 4 weeks. Snake beans are very nutritious and have a slightly sweet flavour and crunchy texture; use them steamed, in stir-fries or curries. Snake bean is resistant to Bean Fly and Rust that can make French or runner beans difficult to grow over summer. Sow all year round in tropical and frost-free areas. Elsewhere sow from spring to early summer.
