Lima Bean-King of the Garden

Phaseolus lunatus HEIRLOOM

This plant is a favorite pod, with cream colored seeds. Like a pole bean, it does require vertical trellising. These beans are large with 4-6 per pod. They have a honey-like taste, are a reliable grower, and can be stored by drying, freezing, or canning. Production continues approximately to the end of the season. These legumes are low-glycemic index food and good for diabetic persons, rich in soluble fibers and regulate your blood pressure.

  • “All items arrived quickly and well packaged. I usually expect to have one or two live items out of a batch, but they are all thriving. I couldn’t be happier!”

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

  • “I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
