Provider, Heirloom Bush Bean Seeds

Provider — The Most Dependable Early Green Snap Bean With the Highest Early Yields

Provider has earned its reputation as the most dependable early green snap bean available — and the one with the highest early yields. What sets Provider apart is its ability to germinate well in cool soils, allowing it to be planted earlier than other beans when the season is just getting started. Adaptable to diverse soil and climate conditions and disease resistant, Provider is the go-to choice for gardeners who want a reliable, productive, and delicious snap bean from the very start of the season. Compact bush plants produce 6–7 inch fleshy, round, straight pods with excellent flavor — one of the best varieties for freezing and canning. 50–55 days.

Growing Notes

Direct sow outdoors after last frost when soil has warmed to at least 50°F — Provider germinates in cooler soils than most beans, allowing earlier planting. Sow seeds 1–2 inches deep, 2–3 inches apart, in rows 18–24 inches apart in full sun. Thin to 4–6 inches apart. Keep soil consistently moist. No staking needed — compact bush habit. Succession sow every 2–3 weeks for continuous harvest. Harvest when pods are firm and snap cleanly — before seeds bulge.
