Jade Green Bush Bean

seeds
Phaseolus vulgaris
(56 days) Open pollinated.

Produces great yields of tasty 5–7" straight slender round dark green beans that keep coming until late in the season, long after others have quit. Tender pods with traditional bean flavor retain rich color longer than others, both on the vine and after picking. Known for their holding quality, and favored by both market and home gardeners. Jade’s strong upright bush habit holds pods above the ground, reducing curling and tip rot. PVP has expired. Resistant to BBS, CBMV, NY15, CTV, tolerant to R. White-seeded Jade is a fussy germinator. Needs soil temperature at least 60° and irrigation during dry spells.

Additional Information

Bush Beans

About 60-100 seeds/2 oz packet. Seed sizes vary significantly by variety.

Pick frequently for maximum and steady yields, but avoid harvesting or disturbing foliage in wet conditions to prevent spread of fungal diseases. Successive plantings can be made every 2 or 3 weeks until midsummer.

Beans

  • All beans are open-pollinated.
  • Days to maturity are from seeding date.

Culture: Tender, will not survive frost. Inoculate with a legume inoculant, then plant seeds 3–4" apart in rows 24–30" apart after all danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed. Minimum germination soil temperature 60°; optimal range 70–80°. White-seeded beans are generally more sensitive to cold soil temps than dark-seeded varieties. Legumes have moderate fertility needs and can fix their own nitrogen.

Saving Seed: Saving bean seed is easy! Leave pods on the plants to dry. Hand shell, or stomp pods on a tarp. To ensure true-to-type seed, separate varieties by 30 feet.

Diseases:

  • ANTH: Anthracnose
  • BBS: Bacterial Brown Spot
  • CBMV: Common Bean Mosaic Virus
  • CTV: Curly Top Virus
  • DM: Downy Mildew
  • HB: Halo Blight
  • NY 15: NY 15 Mosaic Virus
  • PM: Powdery Mildew
  • PMV: Pod Mottle Virus
  • R: Rust
  • SC: Sclerotina

White mold, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, affects more than 300 plant species. In beans, low humidity, good air circulation and wider spacing, both between plants and between rows, reduce the likelihood of this soil-borne infection.
