Finally, a productive Lima bean for our northern growing season! Big clusters of 9-10cm (3.5-4″) pods develop near the tops of the plants, each containing 3-4 beautiful, plump baby Lima beans, also known as butter beans. Early Thorogreen beans are dwarf plants that grow to only 50cm (20″) tall, so do not require staking. Enjoy these fresh from the garden and field or dry them for winter use.

Lima beans are very high in fibre and protein but contain hardly a trace of fat. Their high magnesium content relaxes veins and arteries in the body, improving blood oxygen levels and the circulation of nutrients. Another fantastic superfood to grow!
