Brilliant red pods distinguish this bush bean from the typical green varieties found in most gardens. At 75 days to harvest, it moves quickly from seed to table, and its open-pollinated nature means you can save seeds year after year. The compact bush growth habit keeps plants tidy and productive without the sprawl of pole varieties.
Fresh snap beans for steaming, sautéing, or eating raw straight from the garden. The tender pods are well-suited to quick cooking methods that highlight their color and texture.

Pick pods when they reach full size but while still tender and snappy, typically around 75 days after sowing. The brilliant red color will be fully developed at harvest time. Beans are ready when the pods feel firm but snap cleanly when bent.
