Burpee Improved Lima Bean is a compact, vigorous bush variety celebrated for its dependable yields and exceptional eating quality. Plants produce heavy crops of pale green beans inside broad, 4–5 inch pods that are noticeably larger and thicker than many other lima types. The rich, buttery flavor and tender texture make these beans ideal for fresh eating, freezing, or canning. Because the plants are self-supporting, no staking or trellising is required—just direct sow and enjoy fast, reliable harvests. Burpee Improved is especially well suited for gardeners seeking a productive, easy-to-grow lima with outstanding taste and consistent performance through the season.
