String Bean Seedlings
This productive bush bean grows long, flat, dark green pods that reach approximately 16 cm. The pods are stringless, making them easy to prepare and a versatile addition to everyday meals.
Expect a generous but concentrated harvest, generally over two main pickings. The variety has intermediate resistance to summer death. Give plants six to eight hours of full sun each day, well-drained soil and consistent care for the best result.
Check the plants regularly as pods develop. This bush variety generally produces its crop over two main pickings, so be ready to enjoy or preserve the harvest.

🌡️ Climate and Planting Guide
If starting plants during winter, keep them under cover and transplant outside only after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a position that receives six to eight hours of full sun each day.
Plant in well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water at the base of the plants to keep moisture off the foliage.
🫘 Pods and Kitchen Uses
The long, flat, stringless pods are dark green and grow to approximately 16 cm. Pick them when they reach your preferred size and are still tender.

Cooked: Steam, stir-fry or add to warm vegetable dishes. Plan ahead for the concentrated harvest over two main pickings.
✓ Success Checklist
| Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Wait until frost risk has passed | Young bean plants need protection from frost. |
| Provide six to eight hours of sun | Good light supports healthy growth and pod production. |
| Use well-drained, organic-rich soil | Supports root health and plant growth. |
| Space plants 10–15 cm apart | Gives the bush plants room to develop. |
| Water at the base | Keeps foliage drier and helps reduce conditions that favour leaf rot. |
| Watch pods closely near harvest | The crop is generally ready over two main pickings. |
🐛 Plant Care and Resistance
This variety has intermediate resistance to summer death, but resistance does not mean immunity. Check plants regularly for signs of stress or disease. Water at the base and avoid wetting the leaves where possible.
Give these bush beans plenty of sun and watch for their concentrated harvest. Once pods begin reaching picking size, check the plants often so you make the most of both main pickings.
