About This

• Historical Discovery: Henderson Lima Beans were discovered growing wild along a roadside in Lynchburg, Virginia around 1883. They were introduced to gardeners in 1888 by Peter Henderson & Company, becoming notable for not requiring poles for support.
• Plant Characteristics: This variety is a bush bean, meaning it does not need staking or trellising like pole beans. It's known for its early maturity and is quite hardy, productive, and disease-resistant.
• Bean Description: The beans are small, creamy white, and have a distinct, buttery flavor. They are contained within light green pods, which can be harvested for fresh beans or left to dry for storage.
• Versatility in Use: Henderson Lima Beans are excellent for canning, freezing, or drying. They can be enjoyed fresh, in soups, stews, or salads, making them versatile in culinary applications.
• Quality: All Lima Bean seeds packaged by Seed Needs are intended for the current and the following growing seasons. All seeds are stored in a temperature controlled facility that is free of significant amounts of moisture.
• Quantity: Seed Needs offers generous quantities. You can share with friends and family, or you can save the extra seeds until the following season, if properly stored.
