Orient Wonder Pole Bean

‘Orient Wonder,’ also known as an asparagus bean, is a vigorous pole bean prized for its exceptionally long, slender pods, abundant yields, and unique flavor. The tender green beans have a classic bean taste with a subtle asparagus-like note, making this variety especially popular for Asian-style cooking.

Sow ‘Orient Wonder’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants about 3 inches apart and grow in full sun. Vigorous vines typically reach 5 to 9 feet tall, so provide a strong trellis, fence, or other sturdy support.

Ready to harvest in about 80 days, begin picking the pods when they are around 12 inches long for the most tender texture and best eating quality, even though they can grow 2 to 3 feet long. Check plants frequently and harvest regularly to encourage continued production.

Tender, crisp, and flavorful, ‘Orient Wonder’ is excellent for stir-fries, sautéing, and other quick-cooking dishes.
