Blue Lake Bush Beans

Blue Lake Bush Beans produce heavy yields of slender, dark green, stringless pods. The seeds of Blue Lake beans mature slowly, and the pods typically reach lengths of 6 to 6.5 inches while remaining smooth. These plants are resistant to the Bean Common Mosaic Virus (BCMV) and show tolerance to NY15 disease. Bush beans, which are also known as snap beans or green beans, have a rounded growth habit and do not need support or a trellis. They thrive when planted in full sun and well-drained soil. For optimal growth, sow the bean seeds 1 inch apart and thin the seedlings to 2 to 3 inches apart. Additionally, space the rows of Blue Lake Bush Beans 24 to 36 inches apart.
