    I love these REALLY long beautifully-colored beans that are so tasty for stirfries or soups. The 18” long, slender, pretty red pods are stringless & sweet. The beans are very ornamental growing on tall trellises. Great for kids! Would be so fun to grow on a tepee of bamboo stakes for a fun play house. Needs a good bit of heat to produce beans so you inland gardeners rejoice!
