Bean - Baby Lima White Dixie

$1.89

The White Dixie Butter is sweet, tender and nutty. The fresh lima beans taste incredible compared to the lima beans your mother fed you as a kid. Fresh lima beans taste so different than store bought beans that you won't recognize them. Lima beans are very frost sensitive so wait for warm weather. This bush lima ends up loaded with pods. Pick the pods when they are bulging but before they begin to turn yellow and dry out. The Baby Lima beans can be eaten fresh, frozen, or dried. The Bean Bush Baby Lima White Dixie Butter, 'Phaseolus lunatus', has white, small "baby" lima beans that have a delicious flavor and mature earlier than most limas. Lima beans prefer deep, sandy and well drained soils. Plant Lima beans 1 to 2 weeks after the last average frost date. ... additional information
