Product Description
- Striking 18–30 inch long red-purple pods
- Crisp, sweet, slightly nutty flavor — perfect for stir-fries
- Vigorous climbing vines reach 8–12 feet
- Fast-growing, warm-season, beginner-friendly crop
- Heavy, continual harvests through summer and fall
Red Noodle Yard-Long Beans (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis)—also known as Snake Beans, Asparagus Beans, or Chinese Long Beans—are warm-season climbers that waste no time. Sow seeds 1 inch deep and 4–6 inches apart in spring or summer once the soil is warm, then give the vigorous 8–12 foot vines a sturdy trellis, fence, or pole to climb—growing vertically means cleaner pods and easier picking. Seeds sprout in 7–10 days, and the first harvest arrives about 50–75 days later. For the best texture, pick pods young at 12–18 inches, and pick often: the more you harvest, the more the vines produce, right up to frost. They also grow happily in large containers with support. 50–75 DAYS.
