Phaseolus vulgaris (Bean Bush)

Phaseolus vulgaris (Bean Bush) is a productive warm-season vegetable plant that forms a compact, upright bush and produces tender edible bean pods. Depending on the variety, pods may be green, yellow or patterned, and regular harvesting encourages the plant to continue producing. Its compact habit makes it well suited to vegetable gardens, raised beds and containers.

Easy to grow in a sunny position, Bean Bush prefers fertile, well-drained soil and regular moisture during flowering and pod development. Bush beans are frost-sensitive and are best planted once the soil has warmed. With a relatively short harvest period, they are a practical choice for home vegetable gardens and successive seasonal plantings.
