Blue Lake Bush Green Beans are versatile and can be used fresh, cooked, frozen, or canned. The plants are low-maintenance and will grow right up until the first frost. Beans can be harvested throughout the growing season, and as the crop is picked, more beans will grow. This plant maintains a short height at 15 to 20 inches tall and does not need a pole or trellis for support as a bush variety.

Blue Lake Bush Green Beans Care 

Plant outdoors after there is no longer a threat of frost. Space plants 12 inches apart in rows that are 24 inches apart. Blue Lake Bush Green Beans need full sun and average soil that is slightly acidic to neutral. Remove dead growth, but additional pruning is not necessary.

Growing Blue Lake Bush Green Beans

Blue Lake Bush Green Beans is an easy-care plant that does not require much attention. This plant needs full sun, and mature plants will be 15 to 20 inches tall and spread out 10 inches.

Growing in containers 

Bush beans can easily be grown in containers. Typically a 15-inch container is big enough for a couple of plants. The care is generally the same for plants in the ground, except potted bean plants will need water more often.

Watering Blue Lake Bush Green Beans

Bean plants usually need 1 inch of water per week. Deeply water the plants when the soil just starts to dry out. Mornings are the ideal time to water.

Feeding Blue Lake Bush Green Beans

Fertilize using 5-10-10 plant food once a month. Container-grown plants will benefit from an application of fertilizer every two weeks.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
