– Other: The stunning beauty of the Dutch heirloom bush type of bean, the 7″ long Dragon’s Tongue Wax Beans have a sweet, buttery flavor and are both moist and crisp. They are unique not just in their coloration but also in their taste. While the pods are wide, flat, and stringless, you will notice a difference from the Italian Romas of a similar shape and also from standard wax beans or regular green beans. Dragon’s Tongue can be enjoyed as a fresh snap bean or as a dried shelled bean for countless culinary uses. The sturdy bushy plants are well-suited to container growing, and are quite prolific, producing a large number of beans and continuing to produce until freeze for an abundant harvest.
