Bean, Provider Bush

Phaseolus vulgaris

45-60 days for green bean

This early and prolific bush bean has been a “go to” for many people over the years as a disease resistant early bush bean, and it also has super cool purplish dry beans.  This variety makes a dependable “dilly bean” if you or the deer don’t eat them fresh from your garden first.  Great for children.

Sow in a chemical free area after your last Spring frost about 2 inches apart and in rows about 24-30 inches apart.  Continue to sow every 2-3 weeks until mid-Summer for yummy “dilly beans”. They are a natural nitrogen-fixer…so woo hoo. Enjoys regular waterings, full sun, and barefoot gardeners :)   

Packet Sows at least a 20 square foot bed.
