Bush

Easy-to-grow, Compact Plants

Bush bean varieties have compact habits that makes them ideal for small gardens and containers. Beans with a bush habit include both snap beans in colors from green to yellow and purple as well as some lima bean varieties.

Did you know?

Under stressful growing conditions bush bean plants can produce undesirable flat pods and revert to vining growth habit.
To avoid this plant as early as possible after frost has passed, always apply fresh Nature's Aid Inoculant (#51274) at planting, mulch around plants and maintain consistent water, especially during periods of heat and drought.
