Why customers choose Cera Garden

Meet Tongue of Fire, a striking heirloom bush bean from Marde Ross & Company. Known for flame-striped pods and vibrant color, this open-pollinated variety offers flexible harvest options, making it a favorite for gardeners who enjoy both fresh eating and pantry staples. With an approximate 65–70 day maturity, you may see a steady stream of pods and, later, smooth, creamy beans.

In the garden, Tongue of Fire plants stay neat and compact as they mature, which makes them a smart choice for small spaces, balconies, or container beds. The tidy bushes can thrive in pots, and pods appear in lively red-orange hues. The edible flowers add another decorative and functional touch, while the plant’s heritage traces back to Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America.

What to Expect

  • 20 seeds per pack; a dependable start for a small-to-midsize planting
  • Container-friendly growth: plant ½ to 1 inch deep
  • Heirloom, open-pollinated variety with edible flowers and pollinator appeal
  • Longstanding nursery: Marde Ross & Company has operated in California since 1985

Two Ways to Enjoy Tongue of Fire

This dual-purpose bean offers two delicious paths. Harvest its pods when green for crisp, flavorful beans, or let some pods mature into silky, dry beans for longer cooking and storage.

  • Green pods: bright, snap-worthy harvests for salads and sautés
  • Dry beans: storage-friendly, creamy texture when cooked

Origin and Visual Appeal

Hailing from Tierra del Fuego, the far southern tip of South America, Tongue of Fire is as much a visual accent as a crop. Flame-striped pods cling to sturdy, bushy plants, creating a dramatic display in beds or containers.
