Description
Additional information

Contender Beans are a definite prizewinner. A short season variety ideal for cooler climates, this bush type bean produces abundant quantities of stringless pods. These beans taste best when pods are picked at 12.5-15 cm (5-6”).

Starting Bush Bean Seeds

Direct sow from mid-spring to early summer.

Try to plant during a warm, dry spell. Soil must be warm – if it is not warm enough, seeds may rot, especially our untreated seeds. Optimal soil temperature: 21-32°C (70-90°F).

Seeds will sprout in 8-16 days, depending on soil conditions.

If the weather is too wet, beans can also be started in pots indoors and set out carefully a few weeks later.

Companion Planting For Beans

Beans fix nitrogen in the soil. Plant with Brassicas, carrots, celery, chard, corn, cucumber, eggplant, peas, potatoes, radish, and strawberries.

Avoid planting near chives, garlic, leeks, and onions.
