Product description
Bush Lima Bean Seeds
Bush Lima Beans are warm-season legumes valued for their nutritious, buttery-flavored beans and compact, bushy growth habit. Unlike climbing lima bean varieties, bush types grow without requiring tall trellises, making them suitable for vegetable gardens, raised beds, and larger containers. These productive plants develop green foliage and bean pods that can be harvested when young and tender or fully mature for dried beans. Bush Lima Beans are a practical choice for home gardeners looking to grow their own fresh legumes.
