Dwarf Bean - Yin Yang - Distinctive form, extended harvest season - Fresh Seeds

Dwarf bean Yin Yang is an unusual variety that combines practical value with decorative appeal. When fully mature, the seeds develop a distinctive black and white pattern reminiscent of the yin yang symbol, which makes this bean stand out from many others. The plant has a compact, bushy habit, so it grows well in the ground and also suits pots. It produces plenty of deep green pods with tender, stringless flesh, ideal for cooking and freezing. Once fully dried, the mature seeds can be used like traditional dried beans. This early variety yields well, making it a useful choice for both the garden and the kitchen, and it is available from GardenSeedsMarket.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds 3-4 cm deep. This supports even germination and gives young plants a stable start.

When to sow outdoors

Sow outdoors from April to June, once the soil has warmed and the risk of frost has completely passed.

Spacing

Leave 40-50 cm between rows and about 30 cm between plants in the row. This spacing provides good light and airflow, encouraging heavy cropping and helping reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

Harvest period

Pick the pods for fresh use in summer, while they are young and juicy. Harvest dried seeds from September to October. For dry beans, leave the pods on the plant until they are fully mature to develop the characteristic patterned seeds. Once collected and dried, the seeds store well and make a valuable ingredient for many dishes.

Growing tips

Dwarf bean Yin Yang grows best in a sunny, warm spot in fertile soil that stays slightly moist but drains well. Before sowing, it is worth enriching the soil with compost or an organic fertiliser. Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod set, as lack of water can reduce the crop. This variety is resistant to common bean diseases and copes well with changeable weather.
