Its compact plants are early, very productive, and exhibits disease resistance to Bean Common Mosaic Virus and Anthracnose. The pods are round in cross section, straight, thin, and best harvested when young and tender (about five inches long). They are uniformly dark green in color and tasty.

Considered a gourmet variety, they are typically harvested as a fresh green beans and served whole but certainly can be used in any recipe, such as soups and casserole, calling for green beans. Each packet contains one-half ounce, which is approximately 70 to 75 seeds.

Planting Instructions: Beans prefer well-drained, rich soil in a sunny location. Make sure that you keep them well watered in the summer heat. Don’t bother trying to get an early start with beans – you’ll waste a lot of seed! Beans are tender and you should not plant them until all danger of frost has passed and the soil remains above 65ºF.

Sow seeds 1½ inches deep, every two to three inches. Bush-type beans do not require support.

Pick the pods while young as they are more tender and succulent and less likely to be stringy.
