Burpee Improved Bush Lima Bean

‘Burpee Improved’ Bush Lima Bean is a compact, vigorous variety known for dependable yields, large pods, and rich, buttery flavor. The self-supporting plants produce heavy crops of broad, 4–5 inch pods filled with tender, pale green lima beans.

Sow ‘Burpee Improved’ directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Because the plants grow in a bush habit, they do not require staking or trellising, making them an easy fit for garden rows, raised beds, and smaller growing spaces.

Harvest the pods once they are plump and well filled, but before the beans become overly mature. Regular harvesting helps keep the crop coming and provides the best texture and flavor.

‘Burpee Improved’ Lima Beans are excellent for fresh cooking and can also be frozen or canned for later use. Their tender texture and full flavor make them a dependable choice for gardeners looking for a productive, easy-to-grow lima bean.
