Back from yesteryear: the non-climbing yardlong bean, indeed not a common sight! This red-seeded variety forms sturdy plants (50 cm high) and blooms with elegant blue-purple flowers. Each flower cluster produces 2-4 slender beans about 30 cm long. Virus resistant, when sown in June it has a good chance in the open ground.
