Serbajadi Red Flower Pole Bean - Vigna sinensis L. Leguminosae   

Red Flower Pole Bean is an annual climbing herb and is a popular legume. The stem grows quite long, climbing in an anticlockwise direction and bearing trifoliate leaves. Young pods and leaves are eaten as vegetable and are added to numerous traditional dishes (soups, stews, curries). Beans are at their tastiest when pods are full sized and firm and freshly picked, so harvest frequently, this also encourages greater yield.

When to harvest: Beans are at their tastiest when pods are full sized and firm and freshly picked, so harvest frequently; this also encourages greater yields.
