Phaseolus, Stringless Beans (Bush) 'Blue Lake 274' Heirloom
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun
Description
Unbeatable flavor and productivity! Big yields of six-inch pods that are straight, round, meaty and stringless. Great for freezing, canning and fresh use. Our most popular bean!
Plant in well-drained, warm soil in late spring. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 75-95°F. Beans do not tolerate frost. Thinning is not normally necessary. Bush beans sometimes form tendrils similar to pole beans. You can snip them off without harming the plant. Pick pods regularly just as they start to fill out for best flavor. Although bush beans will continue to bear throughout the season, their largest production comes in the first flush. Replant every three weeks through midsummer for continuous harvest.
