Bean (Bush Snap) – Lewis

$4.25

Packet (~65 seeds)

Description

Lewis bush bean has early maturing plants that keep pumping out 6”, deep-green, slender beans for weeks on end. Lewis bush beans are attractively glossy with thin skins and a crisp, juicy texture. The plant habit is remarkably upright, holding the beans off the ground for easy, clean picking. Delightful eaten fresh, steamed or stir-fried. We’ve got to meet this guy Lewis. Our hero!

Latin Name: Phaseolus vulgaris
Life Cycle for seed saving: Annual

Planting Instructions:
Direct seed Lewis bush bean when soil temperatures exceeds 55°F.  Plant every 2-3 weeks through mid-summer for continued harvest.  Planting depth: 1-2”. Seeding rate: every 2-4”. Row spacing: 18-36”.
