Kilometer Climbing Bean - Organic

Yardlong beans, also known as asparagus beans, are a plant that never goes unnoticed. As soon as they establish themselves, they transform the garden into a vertical stage, where long, slender, elegant pods hang in verdant cascades. Some reach impressive lengths, sometimes nearly a meter, giving the plant an almost sculptural appearance.

Native to the tropical regions of Asia and Africa, this bean belongs to the large family of climbing legumes adapted to warm climates. Its mild flavor is reminiscent of both green beans and asparagus, especially when harvested young. It is at this stage that its texture is at its most tender and enjoyable in cooking.

In the garden, the asparagus bean is a vigorous and expansive plant. It requires sturdy supports to fully express its potential, as it can climb up to three or four meters high. When it receives warmth, plenty of sunshine, and regular watering, it produces abundantly over a long period.

In the ecumene, yardlong beans are particularly valued for their ability to combine productivity, aesthetics, and culinary uses. They integrate naturally into vertical gardens, living trellises, or temporary structures, where they serve as both a food source and a design element. When cultivated with care, they reward the gardener with a generous and spectacular harvest, provided they pay close attention during the picking process.
