Labrador Bush Bean Seeds

The Labrador Bush Bean, also known by the scientific name Phaseolus vulgaris, is a type of heirloom bush bean. It is recognized for its early production and is particularly known for its dark green, uniformly rounded pods that average around 5.5 inches in length. These beans are noted for their tender, stringless, and fleshy nature, making them delicious both when eaten raw or cooked. They are also suitable for freezing, which adds to their versatility in the kitchen.

One of the key characteristics of the Labrador Bush Bean is its relatively short time to harvest, requiring approximately 56 days. This feature makes it an efficient choice for gardeners and farmers looking for a quick yield. The beans are also described as having a good shelf life, which is an important factor for both home storage and commercial distribution.

The Labrador Bush Bean is a type of bush bean, which typically means it grows in a compact form without the need for support structures like poles or trellises. This attribute makes it easier to grow and maintain, especially in smaller garden spaces or in containers. It’s also often referred to as French dwarf beans, dwarf beans, or snap beans.
