Growing Early Thorogreen Bush Lima Bean

‘Early Thorogreen,’ also known as ‘Cangreen,’ is a compact bush lima bean prized for its early maturity, dependable yields, and rich butterbean flavor. Upright plants hold their pods well above the ground for easier harvesting, and each pod typically contains 3 to 4 plump, pale green seeds with a tender, creamy texture.

Sow ‘Early Thorogreen’ 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 18 inches tall and are well suited to both shorter-season gardens and warmer growing regions.

Ready to harvest in about 66 days, begin picking the 3-inch pods once the beans inside are plump and fully developed but before they become overly mature. Plants can continue producing through the season until frost.

Creamy, flavorful, and dependable, ‘Early Thorogreen’ is excellent for fresh cooking, freezing, and canning.
