Beans Bush Contender

Contender bush beans are a highly popular and reliable variety, cherished by South African gardeners for their vigorous growth and early, abundant harvests. As a bush bean, they form compact, upright plants that do not require staking, making them ideal for smaller gardens or container growing. The plants produce plentiful crops of tender, string-less, medium-green pods, typically ready for picking in about 50-55 days from planting. Known for their excellent flavour and crisp texture, 'Contender' beans are incredibly versatile in the kitchen – superb when eaten fresh, steamed, sautéed, or added to stir-fries. They also hold up exceptionally well to freezing and canning, allowing gardeners to preserve their bountiful yields for year-round enjoyment.
