Build a productive, nutrient-rich garden with the Bean Seed Collection from Survival Garden Seeds. This trio of essential annual beans—Contender Bush Bean, Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean, and Henderson Bush Lima Bean—offers reliable performance, generous yields, and excellent versatility in the kitchen. Beans are a cornerstone of any survival-minded or self-sufficient garden thanks to their protein content, adaptability, and suitability for fresh eating or long-term storage.

Each variety grows well in full sun and delivers dependable harvests across a wide range of climates. Whether you’re planting in raised beds, traditional garden rows, or containers, these beans provide steady production and outstanding value throughout the growing season.

Nutritious Varieties Included:

  • Contender Bush Bean: A dependable early producer that thrives in both cool and warm conditions. Plants yield heavy crops of tender, stringless green pods best harvested at 5–6 inches. Well suited for outdoor gardens, containers, and even hydroponic systems with strong light.
  • Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean: A classic, high-yielding pole bean with vigorous climbing vines. Produces abundant snap beans that are sweet, crisp, and stringless when picked young. Pods reach 7–10 inches at full maturity and are excellent fresh, canned, or frozen.
  • Henderson Bush Lima Bean: A compact, drought-tolerant lima bean known for early production. The green-to-cream baby lima beans have a rich, buttery flavor and can be enjoyed fresh, canned, or dried for long-term storage.

Why Customers Love the Bean Seed Collection:

  • Includes three productive, high-nutrition bean varieties
  • Ideal for fresh harvests, canning, freezing, or dry storage
  • Suitable for raised beds, garden rows, or containers
  • Provides protein-rich crops for survival gardening and self-sufficiency
  • Each packet includes clear planting and seed-saving instructions

How to Grow:
Plant seeds directly outdoors in warm soil after the danger of frost has passed. Provide full sun and well-drained soil for vigorous growth. Pole beans benefit from a sturdy trellis or support structure, while bush beans and lima beans grow compactly without support. Water consistently, especially during flowering and pod development. Harvest beans frequently to encourage continued production.
