Rainbow Bush Bean Mix Seeds
Rainbow Bush Bean Mix Seeds - Phaseolus vulgaris
- Annual
- Full Sun
- Germination Tested November 22, 2024: 100%
- Approximately 20+ seed per packet
This is a diverse mix of colourful bush bean varieties all grown alongside each other in 2024. Some crossing is likely, so new colours and combinations may emerge in the coming years. This summer was quite rainy, and they were planted in a somewhat shady spot, so these seeds represent the plants that were able to mature seeds early and not succumb to the damp conditions!
These are mostly varieties bred for dry beans, but many of the young pods are good for eating at the green bean stage as well. Some plants are semi-vining, so adding a few short stakes to the bed could be beneficial. Or rogue out any vining plants to limit these in the population.
Growing Instructions
Growing Instructions
Direct sow 1" deep mid-May to late July in southwest BC after all danger of frost has passed about 4" apart. Provide a low trellis or poles for the short vines to grow up. Harvest the green beans when young, or wait until the pods dry down for dry beans. Can be grown in containers.
