Plump, light green pods grow at the top of a compact plant for easy harvesting. Both fresh and dried beans have a smooth, buttery flavor. When eating fresh, be sure to cook them, as raw beans are toxic. This compact bush-type plant spreads wider than green beans, so give them room to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to grow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBush growth habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat loving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSEED PLANTING TIPS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBotanical name: \u003cem\u003ePhaseolus lunatus\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth to plant seeds: 1.5\" deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpacing between plants: 6\"-8\" apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpacing between rows: 24\"-30\" apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDays to germinate (sprout): 10-21 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGermination soil temps: 70F-90F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil needs: 6.0-7.0 pH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun needs: Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrost hardy: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanting season: Spring, summer, fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e# of plants per sq. ft.: Appx. 2-4 plants per sq. ft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDays to maturity: 65-75 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scotlandsarchitects.com\/pages\/grow-guide-green-beans\" title=\"SeedsNow Bean Grow Guide\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.scotlandsarchitects.com\/pages\/grow-guide-green-beans\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here to view our full Bean grow guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood companion plants: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shop-cucumber-seeds\" title=\"SeedsNow Cucumber Seeds\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/shop-cucumber-seeds\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCucumber\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shop-pea-seeds\" title=\"SeedsNow Pea Seeds\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/shop-pea-seeds\"\u003ePea\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rosemary\" title=\"SeedsNow Rosemary Seeds\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"\/products\/rosemary\"\u003eRosemary\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/thyme\" title=\"SeedsNow Thyme Seeds\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/thyme\"\u003eThyme\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shop-tomato-seeds\" title=\"SeedsNow Tomato Seeds\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/shop-tomato-seeds\"\u003eTomato\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShop more:  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scotlandsarchitects.com\/collections\/grow-your-own-bush-beans\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.scotlandsarchitects.com\/collections\/grow-your-own-bush-beans\"\u003eBUSH BEANS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grow-your-own-heirloom-fava-beans-100-non-gmo\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/grow-your-own-heirloom-fava-beans-100-non-gmo\"\u003eFAVA \u0026amp; BROAD BEANS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grow-your-own-lima-beans\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/grow-your-own-lima-beans\"\u003eLIMA BEANS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grow-your-own-pole-beans\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/grow-your-own-pole-beans\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePOLE BEANS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeedsNow","offers":[{"title":"Sampler Pack (Appx. 20 seeds)","offer_id":452114477,"sku":"E7451","price":1.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Pack (Appx. 120 Seeds)","offer_id":452114481,"sku":"E7451","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0089\/1562\/products\/Bean_Lima_-_Thorogreen_seeds.jpg?v=1624931851","url":"https:\/\/www.scotlandsarchitects.com\/products\/bean-lima-early-thorogreen","provider":"scotlandsarchitects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
