Trilogy Mix Organic Bean Seed

Item #HSC-BEA-033-PKT

A mix of green, yellow and purple bush beans in one packet.

This organic mix combines a green, a yellow and a purple bush bean, so a single short row gives a colorful harvest. It suits small gardens and containers.

The varieties ripen in turn: the green bean first, then the yellow, then the purple, which spreads out the picking. The varieties in the mix can change with seed availability.

Ready about 55 days from sowing. Bush habit. Mix of open-pollinated varieties, certified organic seed.

Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Sow after frost

Wait until the soil has warmed to at least 60°F (16°C); 70–90°F is ideal. Sow 1" deep, about 2" apart, in rows 20–36" apart.

Soil

Well-drained ground with a pH of 6.5–6.8. A legume inoculant can raise yields.

Keep it coming

Sow again every 2–3 weeks until midsummer, and rotate beans on a 3-year cycle to limit disease.

Pick often

Harvest every few days so plants keep setting pods. Chill at about 40°F and use within 7–10 days.

Growing Information

Scientific name

Phaseolus vulgaris

Soil and temperature

Use well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5–6.8. Beans germinate best in soil at 70–90°F (21–32°C); wait until daytime soil temperatures average at least 60°F (16°C), or germination will suffer. Treating seed with a legume inoculant can raise yields.

Days to maturity

Counted from direct sowing.

Direct seeding

After the last frost, sow seeds 1" deep and about 2" apart, in rows 20–36" apart.

Seeding rate

At 8 seeds per foot in rows 3' apart: about 1,000 seeds per 125', 1 lb. per 175' and 116,000 seeds per acre.

Succession planting

Sow again every 2–3 weeks until midsummer for a steady supply.

Insect pests

Mexican bean beetles and potato leafhoppers are the main pests; products based on pyrethrin or azadirachtin (neem) can control them.

Disease

In fall, turn under or compost old bean plants to speed the breakdown of most disease organisms. Wider rows that let leaves and soil dry out help limit white mold (Sclerotinia). Rotate beans on a 3-year cycle.

Harvest

Regular picking keeps the plants setting new pods. For extra-fine filet beans about 1/4" across, pick every 36–48 hours, and never leave more than 2 days between pickings in hot weather.

Storage

Keeps 7–10 days at 40°F (5°C) and 90% relative humidity.
