At only 60 days it’s as early as Henderson’s and is the South’s “colored butterbean,” sporting light to dark brown seeds with contrasting speckles. Our best lima to set pods in hot weather. Plants grow 2 to 3-ft. tall, producing 6-in. pods containing 3 to 5 sweet, flavorful beans. Great as a shell bean for winter use. Semi-vining bush but does not require staking.
