Baby Fordhook Lima Beans 20 Heirloom Seeds Per Packet Non GMO Seeds

Phaseolus lunatus "Baby Fordhook" Lima beans get a bad reputation but this variety changes all that. These lima beans are white instead of green and they have a mild, delicate flavor that usually isn't associated with limas. These are a warm-weather crop and may not grow to full maturity in all areas. Planting Instructions Type: Annual Sun: Full Planting Depth: 1” Spacing: 3-6” Water: Moderate Days to Maturity/Bloom: 85 days Height: 36” Zones: 3-12 Because lima beans cannot survive cold weather, plant them well after the last frost; the soil temperature should be at least 70 degrees. Place them about 5" apart, "eye" side down and 1" deep, in rows 3' apart. The soil should be enriched with compost or other organic matter, and deeply worked; lima beans appreciate full sun. Germination may be slow.
