Bean Snake Climbing - Black Seeded

Vigna unguiculata var. sesquipedalis
Pack: 10 seeds, 10g (60 seeds), 25g (150 seeds)

The asparagus bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis) is a legume cultivated for its edible green pods, which contain immature seeds similar to those of the green bean. It is also known as the yardlong bean, long-podded cowpea, Chinese long bean, bodi/bora, snake bean, or pea bean.

The pods, which can begin to form just 60 days (2.0 months) after sowing, hang in groups of two or more. They are used as a vegetable when picked before they reach full maturity; however, mature pods that are overlooked can be used as dry beans. When harvesting, it is essential not to pick the buds that are above the beans, as the plant will produce many more beans on the same stem in the future. The plants take longer to reach maturity than bush beans, but once they start producing, the pods are quick-growing and daily checking and harvesting is often a necessity.

This plant is a tall climber with stringless, long pods. Eat the whole pod fresh or cooked; the smaller the seed inside, the better the taste. Usually picked around 30cm., a wide range of climates and good in greenhouses, bean-fly resistant. Grown by early Chinese settlers. Sow spring, summer. 70-90 days to maturity.
