Landreth Stringless beans are a historic, heirloom bush bean variety first offered in 1885, known for producing flavorful, meaty, stringless pods that are tender, smooth, full of flavor, and crisp texture that is great for fresh eating, steaming, canning or freezing. The plants are compact that don't need staking, making them great for home gardens. They mature quickly (50-60 days) and offer good drought tolerance and disease resistance, performing best in full sun in warm soil.
