Know before you buy
The seeds are coated with a fungicide treatment to protect them from soil-borne diseases and decay during the germination process. This helps ensure a higher success rate and more consistent stands in the garden.
Provider beans are an early-maturing variety, typically ready for harvest in about 50 days after planting. Because they have a concentrated harvest window, you can expect to pick a large portion of your crop over a short period.
These beans should be direct-sown into your garden soil. They do not transplant well, so it is best to wait until the soil has warmed to at least 65-70°F before planting.
For optimal growth, space your seeds 2 to 4 inches apart within the row. You should leave 2 to 3 feet of space between rows to allow for proper airflow and easy access during harvest.
Yes, Provider is an open-pollinated variety. This means that if you allow the pods to fully mature and dry on the plant, you can save the seeds to plant in future seasons.
