xOverview
Winged Bean Seeds from Marde Ross & Company bring tropical versatility to your garden. This 20-seed pack features the winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus), a plant whose edible promise spans pods, leaves, and even flowers. Known by many names—Asparagus pea, Winged pea, Four Angled bean, Manila bean, Princess bean, and Dragon bean—this heirloom, warm-season annual is celebrated for its protein-rich potential and its adaptability in containers or traditional garden beds.
Growing notes
- Planting season: Late spring to early summer, with warm soil and bright sun.
- Germination tips: seeds can be slow to emerge; for better results, pre-sprout indoors by soaking 24 hours until swollen, then keep at about 77ºF until sprouts appear. If some coats stay firm, scarify and re-soak before planting.
- Growth habit: vigorous vines on 9–12 ft, best with vertical support; container-friendly when given a trellis or stake.
Care & harvest
- Soil and moisture: keep the bed consistently moist and fertilize sparingly to encourage steady pod production.
- Harvest timing: pick beans when they reach up to ~3 inches long for optimal texture and tenderness.
Flavor, uses, and plant profile
The Winged Bean brings culinary variety to kitchens and salads, with pods for stir-fries, sturdy leaves for soups, and blossoms that add color to plates. The plant tends to thrive in tropical or warm climates and can adapt to different spaces with careful support.
Notable plant traits: the leaves and pods contribute notable protein content relative to other vegetables, and the plant remains productive through warm seasons. Each part of the plant is edible, inviting creative preparation in everyday meals. Marde Ross & Company has offered trusted seeds since 1985, including non-GMO and heirloom lines that gardeners value for consistency and heritage.
Why this matters for your garden
With an 80–100 day maturation window, you can enjoy a steady harvest through warm months. The plant’s climbing habit suits larger beds as well as balcony spaces when supported properly.
