Improved Tendergreen Bush Bean

‘Improved Tendergreen’ Bush Bean is a vigorous, heat-tolerant variety known for dependable production even during hot, dry weather. Plants grow about 16–20 inches tall and produce heavy crops of tender, meaty pods with a crisp texture and classic green bean flavor.

Sow ‘Improved Tendergreen’ directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Its ability to perform well in summer heat also makes it a useful choice for later plantings when growing conditions may be warmer and drier.

Harvest the 5–6 inch pods while they are young, firm, and tender for the best texture and flavor. Pick regularly as the beans mature to maintain pod quality and encourage continued production.

‘Improved Tendergreen’ is mosaic tolerant and produces purple-and-buff mottled seeds. The green pods are well suited for fresh eating, cooking, canning, and freezing.
