A delicious conversation piece! Dragon Tongue beans are a striking yellow bean with purple stripes (indicating anthocyanins). They were bred in Holland.
Harvest Dragon Tongue beans when the pods are yellow with purple streaks (they start off as green beans). The beans are tender and have great texture for a long time which gives this bean a long harvest window. Dragon Tongue beans are perfect for fresh eating and cooking. This bush bean is compact and plants are about 2 ft tall.

How to Grow Bush Beans? Sowing: Plant bean seeds in the spring when the soil warms up — usually the end of May/early June. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge (1 week or so). Spacing: Space seeds 3 inches or so apart and sow 1 inch or so deep. Thinning: Thin to 6 inches apart once seedlings are up (3 to 4 inches tall).
