About
Classic heirloom small-seeded lima (butter bean). Compact bush plant.
Growing
Sow when soil is warm (65°F+); limas hate cold soil. No trellis needed.
Harvest
Pick pods at about 3 in when plump, bright green, and well-filled — you should feel the seeds — but before they yellow. Choose firm, bulging pods, then shell fresh. For dried limas, leave the pods on the plant until brown and papery.
