There is a sweetness in this bean that brings me to my knees. And, they’re purple! Also, they’re so satisfyingly tender yet crunchy even as they lengthen six inches, eight inches and often more. Dragon Tongue Bush Snap Bean are so easy to grow and their vivid purple makes them easy to harvest in their sea of green. If you crave the nutty succulence of romano-style beans and love the crisp snap of a wax bean, Dragon Tongue will quickly become one your favorite beans, too.

    These took quite a while to grow here in Delaware, but once they are on, they are AMAZING! They do lose their color in cooking, but they are delicious! Tender and flavorful.

    My favorite bush bean ever. I felt like a magician growing them last year. Even though a bunny nibbled my early plants down to nubbins I put up a little fence to keep her out and they bounced back. They are so pretty with the purple. Picking them is like finding treasures in the garden. Saw them sell out a couple of times at the farmers market and felt proud I had my own little crop waiting for me in my garden.
