Qing Bian is an early-maturing heirloom Romano pole bean known for its long, flat, bright green pods and exceptional tenderness. This non-GMO variety produces stringless pods with a rich, classic Romano flavor.
The vigorous climbing plants yield pods that grow 1012 inches long and approximately 1 inch wide. For best texture and flavor, harvest pods at 810 inches, just as the beans begin to swell inside. The beans are white when shelled.
Qing Bian thrives in full sun with consistently moist soil and benefits from trellising or vertical support. Harvest begins in as little as 5055 days, making this an excellent choice for gardeners seeking early, high-quality yields.
These versatile beans shine in pasta dishes, stir-fries, soups, and are delicious when steamed, sauted, or fried tempura-style.
