Outlaw Bush Bean

Be sure to check out our Beans Growing Guide for more tips & tricks on successfully growing beans. 

The Outlaw Bush Bean is a high-quality market bush bean that has a strong upright growth habit and will produce impressive yields. The glossy, straight pods are an attractive dark green and measure on average between 5 1/2" on 16" - 20" tall plants. This variety is slower than some to develop but produces a truly excellent tasting bean with a good disease package and a solid resistance to lodging. Phaseolus vulgaris. 55 Days to Maturity.

Beans should be planted in spring after the last frost has occurred. Beans will germinate best once soil temps have reached 65 F or higher. The optimal germination temperature is around 77 F. Seeds can require 8 to 16 days to germinate, depending on the soil temperature. For continual production, succession plant every couple of weeks throughout the spring and early summer. Plants will drop blooms or cease production in the heat of summer. Subsequent succession plantings may be made in late summer/fall, as long as enough time is permitted before the first frost date.

Direct seeding is recommended. We suggest using a #6 plate on the Hoss Garden Seeder and modifying the hole size (if necessary) to fit the seed size. Beans should be planted relatively thick along the row and thinned to the desired spacing. To maximize garden space, consider using double-row spacing. For double-row spacing, rows may be planted as close as 6″ apart with 3′ spacing between double rows. For single row spacing, 2′ to 3′ spacing is recommended.
