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.
