The fire bean is also called woolly bean, showy bean or beetle bean and belongs to the legume family (Fabaceae). It is closely related to the common bean, but has the advantage of being somewhat more tolerant of cool summers. It can grow up to 7 m long and is a climbing bean. Between June and September, the intense red, hermaphrodite flowers can be found on the plant. It requires another plant for pollination. The fruits grow up to 25 cm long and harbor brown, red, white or black and purple patterned seeds. Both the pods and the seeds can be eaten, but not raw.
Origin:
South America
The seeds can be dried and stored well. Can also be grown on the balcony. Fire beans can be grown in advance, but can also be planted directly in the open ground. Pre-growing is useful for an earlier harvest and to protect the plant somewhat from slugs. Germination occurs after about 7-14 days at 15-20°C. A climbing aid is needed and they can be sown in eyries like pole beans. Can also be used as a privacy screen this way. Can be sown until July for a continuous harvest.
