Growing Information

Growing Desperado Bean

‘Desperado’ is a productive bush bean known for its excellent heat tolerance, dependable yields, and wide adaptability. Robust plants produce heavy crops of straight, dark green pods with a sweet, classic bean flavor. Strong resistance to common mosaic virus adds to its reliable performance in the garden.

Sow ‘Desperado’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants 3 to 5 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 16 to 20 inches tall and perform especially well during warm weather.

Ready to harvest in about 55 days, begin picking the 5- to 6-inch pods while they are still young, firm, and tender. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production and maintain the best texture and flavor.

Sweet, tender, and dependable, ‘Desperado’ is excellent for fresh eating, cooking, canning, and freezing.
