Description
Bean 'Provider' (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a legendary open-pollinated heirloom bush bean widely celebrated for its dependability, heavy yields, and early maturity. Adaptable to cool spring soils, it germinates reliably where other varieties struggle, producing compact, upright bushes 16 to 20 inches tall. The plants produce heavy clusters of round, smooth, fleshy dark green pods measuring 5 to 6 inches long. Easy to pick and stringless, Provider offers a crisp texture and rich, classic green bean flavor. It is an exceptional choice for early fresh market harvesting, home gardens, freezing, and canning.
