Phaseolus vulgaris
LOT#BB23115
A sturdy bush bean that grows 38-45 cm (15-18”) tall with a 30-36 cm (12-14”) spread.   Introduced by Sutton’s in 1909, this heirloom produces 12-17 cm (5-7”) long, thin, green pods that  can be used as either a fresh eating  bean (65 days) or left to dry on the plant for dried beans (90 days). A heavy producer that shells easily.

Planting Instructions:    
  • Try to plant during a warm, dry spell.  Soil must be warm-if it is not warm enough, seeds will rot.  Beans require a minimum soil temperature of 16°C (60°F) and a maximum of 24°C (75°F). Seeds will not germinate properly if planted too deeply or too early in cold, wet ground.  Sow seeds 2.5cm (1") deep, 5-8cm (2-3") apart, in rows 45-60cm (18-24") apart.  Never sow white seeded beans too early.  White bean seeds transmit water too fast, cracking the cotyledons which reduces seed vigor and germination whereas darker coloured bean seeds can regulate water uptake in cool, wet soils, preventing the cracking of the cotyledons.
  • Soil Conditions:  Well worked, rich, loose and well-drained soil. Ideal pH: 5.5-6.8
  • Planting Depth:   2-5cm (1-1½") deep, 10-15cm (4-6") apart.
  • Germination:  5-10 days.
  • Height at Maturity:  Plants grow between 38-45 cm (15-18”) tall with a 30-36 cm (12-14”) spread.
  • Days to Maturity:   60 days for green snap beans.  90 days for dry beans.
  • Watering:   Low water requirements at planting- moisten soil for germination, medium at flowering, and then heavy through harvest.
  • Sun/Shade:  Full Sun     
  • Seed Spacing:      2-5cm (1-1½") deep, 10-15cm (4-6") apart.
Additional Information
Avoid planting in soil that stays consistently damp or wet.   Beans typically need warm soil of 65° or higher. Grows best in full sun. Regular harvesting of the young pods will ensure a greater yield.
