Provider Bush Green Bean

Phaseolus vulgaris

Certified Organic

Big, delicious harvests of perfectly plump beans.

Provider is a favorite variety of many market growers. It's big and bushy, and it cranks out firm, medium-thickness, medium-length green beans that really satisfy. Equally delicious steamed, pan-fried, or processed (makes great dilly beans), Provider will earn a place in your garden nearly every year.

Growing instructions
Sow Provider Bush Green Bean at 3-week intervals from just after last spring frost until 8-10 weeks before fall frost. Harvest when skin is taut, before the beans become discernible in the pod. Pick beans every other day, and plants will produce for 3 or 4 weeks. If young beans struggle, wait a week and re-sow: many bean ailments are short-lived in the garden, and later sowings will succeed even if earlier ones do not.

    Bountiful, crisp and flavorful. Grown in raised bed but very dry and hot growing season.

    Purchased these recently

    Purchased these recently. Maybe it's because I'm growing them in the Caribbean, but they are really doing poorly. A lot of the beans I started in pots I lost to some sort of rot, and the few that I have been able to salvage are stunted and struggling to survive in the heat. Would not purchase again.

    Hi there! We are so sorry to hear that you are having issues with these beans. When growing Provider bush beans in the Caribbean it is recommended to grow them in the cooler, dry season. The high temps and heavy rains can cause the exact issues with rot and stunted growth you are reporting. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team at mail@hudsonvalleyseed.com, anytime for growing help.

    Are these beans stringless and good for canning?
