Growing Information

Growing Provider Bush Bean

‘Provider’ is an early-producing bush bean prized for its dependable performance, tender pods, and strong disease resistance. Compact plants produce long, straight green beans with a rich, buttery flavor and a concentrated pod set that makes harvesting quick and convenient. Its adaptability also makes ‘Provider’ a reliable choice when growing conditions are less than ideal.

Sow ‘Provider’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants 4 to 6 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach about 16 inches tall and grow in a compact bush habit, so no trellising is required.

Ready to harvest in about 50 days, begin picking the 5- to 6-inch pods while they are still young, firm, and tender. Much of the crop develops on the lower half of the plants, making the beans easy to spot and pick. Harvest regularly to maintain the best texture and flavor.

Tender, buttery, and dependable, ‘Provider’ is excellent for fresh cooking, canning, and freezing.

Wrong bean seed in packages

I bought two packages of bush Bean Provider and planted in May. They came up thick and beautiful and I was thrilled.

And then the runners started appearing. The seeds are some type of a half runner variety and my garden is now a mess. I can't even get in the rows to pick them because I didn't provide any support for vines (of course) because they're not the kind of beans they're supposed to be!

I now have no beans for my freezer.

I love provider beans

I plant brown seeded beans April 5 when the buzzards return and they give me a good crop. You can’t do that with the white seeded ones.

Excellent Product

I've grown this bean for many years & have found it to be the best for my area. I have tried other varieties but Provider just keeps giving me beans to can or freeze. Taste is excellent & no strings to mess with,
