Tenderette Heirloom Bush Bean

‘Tenderette’ is a dependable heirloom bush bean prized for its exceptional productivity, rich flavor, and long harvest season. Compact plants produce generous crops of straight, meaty, stringless green pods with a classic homegrown bean flavor and tender texture.

Sow ‘Tenderette’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants about 2 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach about 20 inches tall and grow in a compact bush habit, so no trellising is required.

Ready to harvest in about 55 days, begin picking the 6-inch pods while they are still young, firm, and tender. Harvest frequently throughout the season to encourage continued production and keep the plants yielding heavily.

Meaty, flavorful, and versatile, ‘Tenderette’ is excellent for fresh eating, cooking, canning, and freezing.
