Trio Bush Bean Seeds

Phaseolus vulgaris

The snap bean (or green bean) is eaten pod and all and tastes significantly better when grown at home rather than bought at the grocery store. The three varieties in this packet are bush type beans, which means that they require no staking and produce most of their crop over a 2 to 3 week period. Packet includes: 'Blue Lake 274', an heirloom favorite, noted for excellent flavor and texture, fresh or frozen (white seed); 'Resistant Cherokee Wax', a vigorous plant producing bright yellow pods (black seed); and 'Purple Queen', with glossy deep purple pods that turn forest green when cooked (brown seed).

About Trio Bush Bean Seeds

Phaseolus vulgaris

5"–6" long, green, bright yellow or deep purple pods. 'BLUE LAKE 274' is an heirloom, producing round, 6" pods with exceptional flavor and tenderness; the best green bean variety for freezing. Stringless when picked young. Plants are resistant to common bean mosaic virus (1, NY15). 'RESISTANT CHEROKEE WAX' is a 1959 improvement on the original 'Cherokee Wax'. Bright yellow pods conceal black seeds! Stringless in all stages; excellent for canning or freezing. 'ROYAL BURGUNDY' has deep purple, slightly curved, tender pods that turn dark green when cooked.

Coverage & Planting Details

Coverage This packet sows up to 48 feet.
Row Spacing 24"
Seed Depth 1"
Seed Spacing 1 seed every 4"
Thinning Not required
Germination 6–12 days
Start Indoors Not recommended
Direct Sow RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 65°F, ideally 70°–85°F. Successive Sowings: Every 7 to 14 days up to 80 days before your average first fall frost date. NOTE: In very hot summer areas, skip sowing as high heat approaches; temperatures consistently above 90°F will prevent beans from forming.
Growing & Harvesting Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when the seeds have just begun to form and the pods are several inches long (depending on the variety). Hold the stem with one hand, and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches, which will continue to produce. At season's end, plants are great compost material if they are disease-free.

    Was not expecting as big of a packet, but this will probably fill an entire trellis with bean plants, if none of them run.

    All my seeds I've gotten from BI have germinated like champs! These beans were beautiful, bountiful, and delicious! That basket is easily 18 inches around and tall, and it was over half way full nearly every week! Not super fuzzy (like Contenders are). The purples turn green when cooked which is a bummer, but they still taste great.

    I had an unfortunate experience with these seeds. For reference I’m a very experienced gardener of 30+ years. I always plant a second round of beans for autumn harvest.

    About half to 2/3 of these seeds turned out to be pole beans, not bush beans. This is a problem for me as I like to grow bush beans on the top of my GreenStalks. There’s really no way to trellis them and I don’t have much time left in my season to start a new batch, plus I’d have to order more seeds.

    I’ve seen this in the past with a couple of seeds in an entire pack, but never have I had more than half of the seeds turn out to be pole beans. I specifically buy bush beans bc they grow faster and don’t require trellises. Somewhere along the way was a quality control issue. I’m off to see if Lowe’s has any bush bean seeds left.
