Parfree's Dragon Tongue

Colin Parfree obtained this variety from his neighbour, who had been given them by a friend who travelled extensively in China - where they're thought to have originated. Compact, sturdy plants produce green pods with thin, deep violet stripes. An easy-care, easy-grow bean that would look pretty and decorative grown in pots. The young pods are tender and tasty, and the dried beans have excellent flavour. Seed colour brown with black speckles.
