Contender bush bean is a popular and productive heirloom variety known for its early maturity and resilience in various climates. These bush beans produce high yields of 6-8 inch, stringless, tender pods that are perfect for fresh eating, canning, and freezing. Contender bush beans are resistant to common bean diseases, making them a reliable choice for home gardeners. A great variety to choose for both early season cool temperatures and can withstand the heat in the summer.
I ordered both contender beans and jade beans. I planted all 25 seeds from each packet. One of the packets has 13 plants and the other has 9. I grow in nursery pots (10 gallon) and use potting mix from the Arizona Worm Farm. I may have planted the seeds too shallow.
Received seeds in a timely manner
Your Contender Bean seed packets were the only Contender variety that I could find this season. Not sure why they are now so scarce,, and so was glad to see you carried them. Thank you!
I haven't planted them yet. Still too cold here in upstate NY. All the seeds I've gotten from you have done well so I expect these will too.
Great germination. Production was good. Great harvest. Grew beans in my Greenstalk.

These were cut on April 22nd and planted April 23, 2025. They came up on May 4th. I'm in central SD, zone 4b. Next year, I'll get more!
Hard to leave a review just planted them.. but over all I was pleased when they arrived ❤️
I wasn't sure it would survive when I planted it, but it is growing. Very happy with my purchase
I immediately set this plant outside to begin hardening off. After about 2 weeks, I planted it in it's dedicated grow bag until I get a more permanent planter, and I must say it is living life. It has grown so much since I received it. I believe I'm going to remove the blossoms this year to continue promoting healthy growth.
Love this. I collect stickers on my garden notebook for fun and inspiration and this spoke to me.
