Growing dragon beans—also known as winged beans, four-angled beans, or Manila beans—was my first vegetable garden experience. This vegetable, a mainstay in South Asian and Southeast Asian recipes, intrigued me owing to its high nutritional richness and versatility. I'll narrate my dragon bean cultivation, starting with my joy at gathering the first 100 seeds.
People say dragon beans are healthful and versatile, which intrigued me. This biennial shrub contains high protein, buttery flavor, and low maintenance. To cultivate a plant with practically every edible component was too amazing to pass up.
I was particular about my garden's organic, well-drained soil, but it works well in most places.
Selecting Healthy Seeds: The 100 white and purple seeds promised a bountiful harvest.
I spread the seeds around the ground in early spring to give them room to grow into vines.
In their first several months, infants need regular climbing and drinking help.
Progress and Improvement
Seeing the seeds grow into robust vines was wonderful. The four-winged pods sprang from the dense vegetation instantly.
Dragon beans have several applications.
My yard's dragon bean plants may vary as they age.
Initial pod stages The immature pods tasted pleasant and felt like young green beans.
Eco-friendly Interior Design: Oil-cooked blooms tasted like mushrooms, but boiling leaves tasted like spinach.
Every meal I made with firm-fleshed roots had this delightful nutty taste.
Surprises in Home and Rural Settings
The kitchen power went out while harvesting. Because of their versatility, I used the beans in spicy salads and stir-fries with fresh vegetables. I could cook with every component of this plant, giving my dishes unique flavors and textures.
Tips for Growing Winged Bean Seeds
Growing Winged Bean BeanSeeds, Urizun Japanese successfully involves planting them 1-2 inches deep in full sun after the last frost. These seeds should be sown 6-12 inches apart in beds, with a recommendation to pre-soak them for 1-2 hours to speed up germination. To thrive, these seeds require warm temperatures, making it important to ensure they are planted in a warm environment.
Pros and Cons
Dragon bean cultivation was hardest when it came to keeping the soil wet and supporting the climbing plants. The pros exceeded the cons. My life's happiest moment was cooking beans from my garden.
Dragon bean seed preparation was fun and instructive. This is the plant to grow if your garden has many possibilities and you want to consume a range of meals. Besides its health benefits, it will add an exotic flair to your outdoor space and tables. Grow your own dragon beans for a fantastic taste, gardening, and discovery journey.
Winged bean seeds germinate the best at temperatures between 77 and 85 degrees. The winged bean originates from tropical areas and loves bright, hot, and humid environments, but has also proven to be resistant to drier conditions when watered properly.
As mentioned above, winged beans (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) are known by multiple names including four-cornered bean, Hunan winged bean, cigarillas, manila bean, four-angled beans, and goa bean. They are native to South Asia and are thought to have originated in New Guinea.
To grow winged beans in containers, follow these steps:
Choose a 12″ container for hassle-free gardening.
Ensure a warm, humid climate for germination and growth.
Use well-draining soil enriched with compost or manure.
Plant seeds 1–2 inches deep in rows 3–4 feet apart.
Water deeply and regularly for the first few weeks, then reduce watering once the plant is established
Growing winged beans in containers is one of the most successful ways to get a good production. Growing these plants in containers lets you closely control soil conditions, water, and makes moving growing plants into better conditions easy.
Growing beans in containers should provide you with edible pods in 45 to 65 days when grown in full sun.
How to Grow Winged Beans
Plant a single Winged Bean plant in a 12″ container for a hassle-free gardening experience. Container growing not only keeps weeds in check and restricts excessive growth but also lets you move your plants around to optimize
To care for winged bean seeds, follow these steps:
Soak mature seeds in clean water for 24 hours prior to planting.
Plant seeds 1 inch deep in well-draining soil with good drainage.
Space seeds about 6 inches apart and cover with soil.
Keep soil moist until plants germinate (7-10 days).
Provide support structures like trellises or stakes for climbing plants.
Winged beans grow on vines and will need a structure to support the climbing stems. Provide these beans with a trellis on the north side of your garden and you’ll be picking beans into late summer. The blue flower it produces will attract many beneficial insects and pollinators. As its most common name suggests, the bean pods have four frilly wings that run the length of the bean.
These unusual winged bean plants are quickly gaining popularity amongst gardeners and for good reason. If you are interested in growing your own food this plant is an especially interesting choice because the entire plant is edible, even the tuber! The mature bean is a rich protein source and has more protein than similar beans such as cowpeas, chickpeas, mung beans, etc. It has a similar protein content to soybeans and can be used in many of the same ways.
The winged bean pod resembles a broad bean with four ruffled wings that run the length of the pods. Inside, the winged bean seeds are hidden away, although most harvest the pods before they produce mature seeds. The leaves appear similar to those of string bean plants and the bright blue flowers produced look like pale blue versions of the snap pea flower. The tubers bear a striking resemblance to sunchokes. Winged bean is a pole bean and as such grows as a vine. These plants are not only used as food for people but are also used as feed for fisheries and for livestock because of their high protein content.
Planting Winged Beans
Winged beans are especially frost-sensitive so it’s best to wait until all threat of the last frost for the season has passed before transplanting any seedlings. They can be started indoors and transplanted into raised beds or sown directly into containers and then moved outside once any cool weather has passed. You can also simply start them in the ground that they’ll grow in, provided that the threat of frost has passed and the ground is warm enough to aid in germination. They need full sun and a structure like a trellis to support the climbing vines. The dried seeds can be pre-soaked to hasten germination. Once the seed sprouts from the ground, monitor and direct its young vine tendrils toward its trellis so it can begin to climb.
Care
Caring for the winged bean is similar to caring for any other pole bean variety, just with the added benefit of being able to eat all parts of the plant. Winged bean vines will need something to grow on and the roots may reward your garden efforts by fixing nitrogen into the soil.
Sun and Temperature
Winged beans require full sun. For those of us in the northern hemisphere, that means placing these pole beans on a trellis on the north side of your garden so that they don’t potentially shade out other plants. The native winged bean varieties that establish themselves in the tropics wait for the heat of summer before putting on measurable growth, then await the signal of the shortened days of fall before flower set and putting out pods. In a temperate climate, these varieties will never get the chance to mature, because the shortened days of fall also come with temps that are too cold for these plants to survive.
When growing winged bean as an annual in a temperate climate, it’s important to select a day-length neutral variety. These winged bean varieties will set flower much sooner and don’t rely on the signal from shortened days to bloom. This ensures that they will produce winged bean pods sooner than their non-day-length neutral relatives.
The winged beans that are native to Southeast Asia can be grown in USDA growing zones 9-11 and have been reported to grow like weeds in those climates. The day-neutral varieties can be grown in all other zones, but in cooler climates may need to be started indoors and transplanted out. These plants will need at least a 120 day long growing season. Consult your local frost dates to determine the right planting time for your region.
Water and Humidity
As with most plants grown in the heat of the summer, it’s best to water your winged bean in the morning so that the moisture has a chance to absorb into the soil before the heat of the day. Since winged beans are specialized to survive in the warm and wet tropics, they require even moisture and regular watering. They do not tolerate periods of drought well and really prefer a little humidity. This makes them a surprisingly good choice for southeastern US growers.
Winged bean seeds also require plenty of moisture in order to germinate. To aid in germination, it’s best to soak the seeds for 24-48 hours before planting out. This step can be skipped, but it may take them up to 3 weeks to germinate without it.
Soil
Winged beans do best in an average, neutral ph soil. They can survive in multiple soil types such as clay, silt, or loam soil. In addition, winged bean will need well-draining soil to ensure that the tubers do not rot before they can be harvested and eaten, so ensuring your soil blend is organic-rich will help.
Fertilizing
Your winged bean plants prefer soil amended with plenty of organic matter via quality compost. It does not require a nitrogen-rich fertilizer. If it receives too much nitrogen, it will put on a lot of leaves and vines, but will not produce many blossoms or winged bean seed pods. Beans and other legumes, with winged bean among them, are well known for their ability to fix nitrogen into the soil. This makes them a great crop to rotate into an area of your garden that may need a boost or to companion plant with a crop that loves nitrogen. Having said that, phosphorus and potassium are both beneficial for the winged bean, particularly phosphorus as it aids in flowering.
Pruning
Winged beans do not require any pruning, but cutting back the tops of the vines once they reach about 12 inches in height can encourage bushier growth. Harvesting the leaves for food can be an excellent way of pruning without actually pruning. If the vines appear to be growing wild and out of control, some pruning may be necessary to increase airflow and prevent potential disease issues.
Propagation
There are no known methods of propagation for the winged bean plants other than starting from mature seeds. As mentioned above, soaking the seed for 24-48 before planting will help hasten germination. This step is not necessary but will help get a head start on your plants. Since the seeds have such a thick wall, soaking helps to soften them and they will sprout sooner.
Generally speaking, winged bean seedlings do not like root disturbance during transplant, so take care when transplanting out or try sowing directly when possible.
Harvesting and Storing
The winged bean plant makes a great addition to any vegetable garden because all parts of the plant are edible, even the tuber! These tropical legumes have a great taste and nutty flavor.
Harvesting
The protein-rich pods are ready to harvest when they are bright green, tender, and still flexible, about 2 weeks after blossoms appear. Young green pods, like snap peas, can be eaten raw pod and all. Once the pods become tough and fibrous, then they are harvested for the seeds inside, which require a 2-3 hour cooking process to make them digestible.
The young leaves can be used as you would use spinach: in salads, steamed, or added to soups, stews, or rice dishes. The pale blue flowers can be harvested once they are fully opened and make a beautiful garnish
While the pods, leaves, and flowers are ready to pick within about 75-80 days, their roots won’t be ready until about 120 days. At the end of the season, dig up the plant to reveal the tuberous roots. They can be used similarly to potatoes and can be boiled, steamed, baked, fried, or made into chips.
Storing
The immature pods should be treated similarly to string beans in that they have a string to remove from each of the four angles of the bean. Once the string is removed it can be used fresh in stir-fries, steamed, eaten raw, or blanched, and then frozen for future use. Pickling the young pods is another option for extending the shelf life of this bean. If the pods are left to fully mature then it’s best to discard the tough fibrous pod and process the seeds. They can be dried and stored for future use or saved as seeds for the following growing season.
