Couldn't load pickup availability
Chinese Heirloom. Lavender, pink, and mint colors blend together on these gorgeous long pods. The Mosaic Yard Long Bean has a more dense texture and intense bean flavor than green beans. An excellent choice to use in an edible ornamental garden on a trellis, where you can watch the beautiful flowers grow before your eyes into pods. The Mosaic Yard Long Bean begins harvesting at 10-12”, before pods plump up; if you do miss some the mature beans can be shelled then cooked like peas.
