I've been growing this plant in tucson Arizona for two years. they gorw best from late winter to early summer and then late summer throug...Read Moreh November. they are best eaten when they are 10 to 14 inches long.

This is a very interesting plant that grows extremely well in clay soil as long as it gets plenty of sun. The flowers are very ornamental...Read More and the beans taste great stir-fried in a garlic sauce. I grew them like regular beans and they got about 7 feet tall, without any fertilizer.

P.S. I would like to point out that there are a few varieties of yard-long bean, including a few sub-species.

This is a fun and easy plant! Tastes good, too. I like to mix them with normal beans.
