55 days. Phaseolus vulgaris. Open Pollinated. Red Swan Bean. The bsuh plant produces high yields of 4 to 6" long flat deep purple Romano beans. These stringless beans are very flavorful with superb flavor. The pods turn bright green when steamed. It is a cross between a purple snap bean and a pinto bean. Great fresh or used in soups and stews. The plant keeps producing late into the season. It was developed by Robert Lobitz. Always a great seller at Farmer’s Markets. An excellent choice for home gardens and market growers. A variety from the USA.

Bush Bean Planting Information:

Plant your bush bean seeds outdoors directly in the garden after your last frost date. For a quicker start, you can soak your seeds 1 to 4 hours in warm water. If you soak the seeds too long, they will split or rot and will not germinate! Germination is improved when soil temperature is above 65 F. Plant in 2 to 3 weeks intervals for a steady harvest until about 3 months before first killing frost in the fall. Plants can grow 12 to 24" tall.

Warning: Do not plant in cold wet soil or you may experience poor germination!

Soil Requirements:

Requires rich fertile soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Beans do not like soil that is too moist. Water during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when planting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle Gro.

Harvest Tips:

Pinch or cut the pods off carefully to avoid damaging the plant. Pick every few days for tender beans. Frequent harvesting also encourages plants to produce more pods.
