Know before you buy
No, these are bush-type beans that grow to a compact 12 to 22 inches tall. They are self-supporting and do not require staking, making them a great choice for smaller garden beds or containers.
This trio includes 'Blue Lake 274' for classic heirloom flavor, 'Resistant Cherokee Wax' for bright yellow pods, and 'Purple Queen' for striking deep purple pods. Notably, the purple pods will turn green once they are cooked.
These beans offer a concentrated harvest, meaning most of the pods will be ready to pick within a similar timeframe. You can expect to start harvesting between 45 and 55 days after sowing.
They are excellent for both fresh eating and preserving. Because they are stringless when young, they hold up very well to canning and freezing.
A single packet contains enough seeds to provide up to 48 feet of sowing coverage, depending on your specific spacing preferences.
