Bean Seeds - Bush - Dragon’s Tongue Bean
Striking in both the garden and the kitchen, Dragon’s Tongue is a Dutch heirloom beloved for its beauty, flavor, and versatility. The 24-inch bush plants produce heavy yields of broad, flat pods—ivory yellow streaked with vivid purple—each up to 6 inches long and entirely stringless when young.
Tender and juicy with a rich, sweet flavor, these beans are superb fresh off the vine, lightly steamed, or sautéed. When cooked, the purple streaks fade to golden green, a visual cue that they’re ready to serve. Mature pods can also be left to dry, yielding creamy white shelling beans with a delicate nutty taste.
Brought to market gardeners in the late 1700s from the Netherlands, Dragon’s Tongue has stood the test of time for its adaptability, ornamental appeal, and exceptional flavor—a true dual-purpose bean that delights from garden row to dinner plate.
