Compact bush habit makes it ideal for containers, raised beds, garden plots, and greenhouses. Pods reach 5–6 inches with a crisp snap and vibrant green color. A nitrogen-fixing crop that improves soil health for future plantings. 50–60 days.

Growing Notes

Direct sow outdoors after last frost when soil has warmed to at least 60°F — beans do not transplant well. Till soil 6–8 inches deep and incorporate compost or well-rotted manure before planting. Sow seeds 1 inch deep, 2–4 inches apart, in rows 18–24 inches apart. Full sun required. Water consistently at soil level — avoid overhead watering to prevent disease. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Rotate crops annually. Harvest when pods are 4–6 inches long, firm, and crisp — before seeds begin to bulge. Pick frequently to encourage continuous production.
