SAPPHIRE is a climbing asparagus bean variety, valued for its high yield and delicious meaty pods. The pods of this variety are tender and juicy, free of tough fibers, making them especially pleasant to eat. Pod length reaches 20-25 cm, and the crop matures 60-62 days after germination, allowing for a fresh product to be obtained quite quickly.
SAPPHIRE plants are powerful and well-leafed, with a height exceeding 2 meters, so support is necessary for the shoots. Garden arches and pergolas are excellent for this purpose, which not only ensures comfortable growing conditions for the beans but also allows for decorative use, adorning the site with greenery and flowers.
Asparagus bean SAPPHIRE is a heat-loving crop that grows well in sunny and fertile soils. It does not require complex care and is suitable for growing during the summer period. Juicy pods contain a lot of protein and dietary fiber, making them a healthy addition to the diet. Surplus harvest can be frozen or canned, which allows to preserve the taste and benefits of the beans for winter.
