Bean Seeds - Red Yardlong

Red Yardlong bean seeds produce vigorous warm-season plants with a climbing growth habit. Plants develop long, trailing vines that require support such as trellises, poles, or fences for proper growth. This type performs best in warm to hot climates with full sun and a long growing season. Red Yardlong beans are well suited for garden beds and open planting areas where vertical growing space is available and adapt well to fertile, well-drained soils with consistent moisture.
