Strike Bush Bean
Growing Strike Bush Bean
‘Strike’ is a vigorous bush bean prized for its heavy yields, early production, and especially long harvest window. Upright plants produce abundant crops of slender, smooth, round, mid-green pods with a crisp texture and sweet, classic bean flavor. Strong disease resistance and wide adaptability add to its dependable garden performance.
Sow ‘Strike’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants 2 to 3 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 2 to 3 feet tall and grow in an upright bush habit, so no trellising is required.
Ready to harvest in about 51 days, begin picking the 5½-inch pods while they are still young, smooth, and tender. Harvest regularly throughout the season to encourage continued production and take advantage of the variety’s extended harvest period.
Crisp, sweet, and dependable, ‘Strike’ is excellent for fresh eating, cooking, canning, and freezing.
