Bean Bush Trio Blend Large Seed Pack

Description

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).

Variety Information: 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. Days to Maturity: 45–55 days
