Henderson's Bush Lima Bean

‘Henderson's’ is an early-producing bush lima bean prized for its dependable yields, sweet flavor, and easy harvests. Compact plants produce generous crops of small pods, each typically filled with 3 to 4 creamy white beans. Its early maturity makes this variety especially useful for gardeners in shorter growing seasons.

Sow ‘Henderson's’ 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 24 inches tall and grow in a self-supporting bush habit, so no trellising is required.

Ready to harvest in about 60 days, begin picking the 3-inch pods once the beans inside are plump, fully developed, and still tender. Regular harvesting helps maintain the best texture and flavor.

Sweet, creamy, and versatile, ‘Henderson's’ is excellent for fresh cooking, canning, freezing, and drying for winter use.
