Lima Butter Beans are a delicious and creamy legume known for their rich, buttery texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. These beans are a favorite in soups, stews, and side dishes, offering a high-protein, nutrient-packed addition to any meal. Lima Beans grow in both bush and pole varieties, producing pods filled with smooth, plump beans that can be enjoyed fresh or dried for long-term storage. A fantastic choice for home gardeners looking to cultivate a reliable and versatile crop!
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Lima Butter Beans thrive in warm, well-drained soil and should be sown directly outdoors once the soil temperature reaches 75-85°F in late spring. Plant seeds 1-1.5 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart, spacing rows 18-30 inches apart for proper growth. Choose a sunny location with rich soil and avoid planting too early, as these beans prefer warm conditions.
Germination occurs within 7-14 days. Bush varieties require little support, while pole varieties benefit from trellises or stakes for climbing. Water moderately, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy, as excessive moisture can cause root rot. Regular weeding is recommended, but take care not to disturb the shallow root system.
Harvest beans when the pods are plump and firm for fresh eating, or allow them to fully dry on the plant for storage. Dried Lima Beans can be stored in a cool, dry place for long-term use. As a nitrogen-fixing plant, Lima Butter Beans help enrich soil quality, making them a great addition to any garden.
Easy to grow and incredibly nutritious, these beans are a must-have for gardeners looking for a productive and delicious crop!
