Strike Bush Bean

$399

The Strike Bush Bean is an open-pollinated variety that is perhaps the heaviest yielding bush bean we’ve seen. This early-producing variety is popular with both commercial and home growers for its good disease tolerance and will continue to produce over a surprisingly long period of time. The 5-6″ stringless pods grow on a concentrated set and are consistently uniform and smooth with a medium green color. The Strike is also one of the best-tasting beans and has a juicy, crunchy texture with a sweet classic bean flavor. Phaseolus vulgaris. 45-50 Days To Maturity.

The Strike Bush Bean is an open-pollinated variety that is perhaps the heaviest yielding bush bean we've seen.

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.

Great tasting beans

The taste is far better than Blue Lake, which has been my goto bean. Stringless and tender, they are tops in flavor and texture. Good growers, however a two week rainy period almost did them in, in spite of being supported on a Florida weave, they lost about a third of their leaves to mildew, and that was with weekly copper or clorthalonil sprays. Once we dried out, they did come back. The conclusion is they are excellent tasting, best i've had, but are a challenge in overly wet weather.

Tons of delicious beans year after year. I don't know why I even try experimenting with new or different varieties.

If you want a fool proof bean, Strike is the one to get. It produces great every single year, it tastes amazing,it's always tender and it produces loads of easy to pick beans. Strike will survive drought,wet,heat,cold,wind,poor soil and anything else mother nature can throw at it without skipping a beat. It's the most consistent bean I've ever grown. You simply can't go wrong with it.

If you haven't tried these bush beans your missing out. They are the best producing bush bean we have grown. Absolutely no strings at all and very tender and tasty beans. The plants are very healthy and easy to grow.
