Winged Bean, also known as Asparagus Pea, Winged Pea, Four Angled Bean, Manila Bean (Sigarilyas), Princess Bean, and Dragon Bean, is a versatile tropical plant with almost every part being edible. The beans are used as a vegetable, the leaves are cooked like spinach, the roots resemble potatoes, and the dried seeds are utilized for flour. Cultivation Instructions: Soil Preparation: Begin by preparing fertile, well-drained soil in a warm, sunny location. Germination Tips: Winged Bean seeds can be challenging to germinate. For improved germination, pre-sprout seeds indoors by soaking them in water for 24 hours until swollen. Maintain a temperature of 77F until sprouted. Scarify the seed coat for seeds that haven't swollen and re-soak. Plant when seeds sprout. Growing Conditions: Keep the soil consistently moist. Fertilize sparingly. Support and Training: Train the plant to grow on a vertical support as the large, vigorous vines can reach 9-12 feet. Harvesting: Harvest beans when they reach up to 3 inches in length.
