Contender Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

This is when the seeds have just begun to form. The Contender is tasty, stringless, and it takes only 40 days from sowing to harvest. You just won't find an earlier bean. Like other snap beans, Contender is stringless and excellent cooked or eaten right out of the garden. Contender will tolerate hot temperatures and mildew and is very productive.

The Bean Bush Snap Contender, 'Phaseolus vulgaris', is the earliest bean we could find. * $1.89
