Contender Bush Bean Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds offer gardeners a dependable, early-maturing green bean that performs well in a wide range of climates. This productive bush-type variety produces heavy crops of crisp, flavorful pods and is especially useful for regions with short growing seasons. Contender thrives in both cool and hot weather, giving gardeners flexibility and reliable harvests throughout the season.
Early, Reliable, and High-Yielding:
Contender is known for its quick production and steady yields, making it a strong choice for gardeners who want abundant harvests without a long wait. The bushy plants stay compact and require no trellising, making them easy to manage in garden beds or containers. Their resilience across temperature swings adds to their practicality and reliability.
Exceptional Flavor and Kitchen Versatility:
These stringless green beans reach up to 8 inches long, though they are at their most tender and flavorful when harvested at 5–6 inches. Contender beans have a classic green bean taste with a smooth, crisp texture. They hold their quality beautifully when canned, pickled, or frozen, making them a great option for both fresh meals and long-term preserving.
Why Customers Love Contender Bush Beans:
- Early producer ideal for short growing seasons
- Thrives in both cool and hot weather conditions
- Heavy yields of tender, stringless green pods
- Best flavor when picked at 5–6 inches
- Excellent for canning, pickling, and freezing
How to Grow:
Sow seeds directly into warm soil after the last frost date. Plant in full sun and water consistently, especially during flowering and pod development. Because Contender is a bush variety, no support is needed. Harvest pods frequently when they reach 5–6 inches to encourage continued production and peak tenderness.
