Venice Bush Bean Seeds

Venice Bush Beans are a dependable workhorse of the summer garden, yielding huge quantities of dark green, straight 5–6" pods that stay sweet and tender even when the harvest gets ahead of you. A consistent performer year after year, this variety is beloved by home gardeners and market growers for its reliability, excellent flavor, and compact, self-supporting plants that need no staking or trellising. Perfect for fresh eating, canning, or freezing in bulk.

Growing Instructions: Direct sow 1–2 inches deep after last frost when soil is 60°F or warmer—no support structures needed. Harvest pods regularly when 5–6 inches long and firm for continuous production. Succession sow every 3 weeks through early summer for a steady harvest until frost.
