Jackson Wonder Lima Bean Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds offer a historic, open-pollinated butterbean variety introduced in 1888 and still cherished for its resilience, flavor, and dependable yields. This dwarf bush lima performs exceptionally well in hot, dry climates, making it a strong choice for Southern gardens, homesteads, and long-season producers. Whether enjoyed fresh or stored for later use, Jackson Wonder produces creamy, richly flavored butterbeans that add both nutrition and versatility to the pantry.
Tender, Flavorful, and Highly Useful:
Jackson Wonder lima beans are known for their creamy texture and mild, satisfying flavor. Beans are speckled when fresh and dry to a beautiful tan-and-purple pattern, making them ideal for drying and long-term storage. They hold their quality well whether canned, frozen, dried, or freshly cooked, offering consistent results for everyday meals and preparedness gardens.
Reliable in Heat and Drought:
This classic Southern butterbean thrives where temperatures climb and rainfall may be limited. Compact, easy-to-manage plants require no trellis and produce reliably even in challenging weather. Their dwarf habit simplifies harvesting, while the variety’s open-pollinated nature makes it suitable for seed saving year after year.
Why Customers Love Jackson Wonder Lima Beans:
- Tender, creamy butterbeans excellent fresh, canned, frozen, or dried
- Heat- and drought-tolerant plants suited to Southern and warm climates
- Historic open-pollinated variety introduced in 1888

How to Grow:
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost once soil has warmed. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil, watering consistently during early growth and pod development. As a dwarf bush type, Jackson Wonder requires no staking. Harvest pods when plump and tender for fresh use, or allow them to mature and dry on the plant for long-term storage.
