‘Tongue of Fire’ (also known as ‘Horto’) is a cultivar of Phaseolus vulgaris. The pods are ivory white with red streaks that look like flames. The bean stalks grow close together require plenty of sun and form large roundish pods. Original seed was reportedly from Tierra del Fuego on the tip of South America sent to Italy and spread through southern Europe.
