Henderson's Bush Lima is an heirloom variety that was virtually unknown until being discovered along a Lynchburg, Virginia roadside around 1883. Subsequently acquired and improved by Peter Henderson and Company, the new Henderson Bush Lima quickly became a household name and has maintained its popularity ever since. Absolutely the most dependable lima variety we've tried, Henderson Bush Lima is a necessity for those looking to maximize sustenance off their garden plot. Healthy, highly branched plants bear heavily and consistently even in extreme heat. The s mall, white butter beans have delicious flavor and a velvety texture. We love to use them in sausage, bean, and kale soup as they capture all of the flavors in their delicious, thick pot liquor. Henderson Bush Lima also has a fast germination period which makes it a popular variety for classroom science projects. Matures approximately 71 days after sowing. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.
