Borlotto lingua di fuoco nano

Borlotto Lingua di Fuoco nano is an early-maturing, low-growing variety of asparagus bean, characterized by high yield and decorative appearance. Plants reach a height of about 50-60 cm and form medium to large pods 14 to 20 cm long, adorned with distinctive red veins, hence their name "tongues of fire". The beans are cream or white in color with raspberry-red speckles, giving them an attractive appearance and making this variety popular among gardeners and chefs.

This bean variety has a medium-early maturity — pods are ready for harvest approximately 70 days after germination. Young pods do not contain a tough parchment layer or fibers, making them suitable for consumption fresh or for preparing soups and other dishes. Borlotto Lingua di Fuoco nano is suitable for cultivation both outdoors and in protected conditions, making it a versatile choice for various climate zones.

For successful cultivation, sow seeds in rows spaced 35-45 cm apart, planting them 2-3 cm deep from early May to late June. Optimal plant development is achieved by fertilizing the soil with manure. Each package contains approximately 30 g of seeds, which corresponds to about 30 seeds, plus an instruction manual and sowing recommendations. This bean variety is valued for its decorative appeal, flavor, and versatility in cooking.
