Burpee Improved Bush Lima
75 days — The beans are fatter than 'Fordhook' Lima beans. There are typically three to five pale green seeds per four to five inch long pod. The pods are borne in clusters of five to six pods. Introduced by W. Atlee Burpee Seed Company in 1907. Each packet contains one ounce, which is approximately 20 seeds.
Planting Instructions:
Beans prefer well-drained, rich soil in a sunny location. Make sure that you keep them well watered in the summer heat. Beans are tender and you should not plant them until all danger of frost has passed and the soil remains above 65ºF. Sow seeds 1½ inches deep, every 2 to 3 inches.
Harvest when the pods are well-filled and firm, but still bright green in appearance. To dry, allow them to remain on the vine until brittle. If rain threatens, harvest and finish drying indoors. Although the name or description of this variety refers to a modern company's name, the seed we are offering is in no way sourced from, "owned by" or connected with that company. The name is simply the historically accurate, common name for the variety giving credit to the seedsmen that originally released it.
