Growing Information

Growing Early Thorogreen Bush Lima Bean

‘Early Thorogreen,’ also known as ‘Cangreen,’ is a compact bush lima bean valued for its early maturity, dependable production, and rich butterbean flavor. Upright plants hold their pods well above the ground, making harvest easier, and each pod typically contains 3 to 4 plump, flavorful seeds.

Sow ‘Early Thorogreen’ directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. This variety matures early enough for shorter-season gardens while also performing well in warmer regions.

Harvest the pods once the beans inside are plump and fully developed but before they become overly mature. Plants continue producing through the season until frost, providing an extended harvest from compact, self-supporting plants.

‘Early Thorogreen’ is well suited for fresh cooking, freezing, and canning. Its pale green seeds, early production, and dependable yields make it a classic choice for gardeners who enjoy Southern-style butterbeans.
