Bean, Bush ‘Simba’ (Phaseolus vulgaris)
A round dark green bush bean with terrific flavour. It is a heavy cropper and has good disease resistance. Its heavy frame keeps the beans straight and clean as they are held well off the soil. It takes about 50 days to harvest from seed planting. I plant in mid-October, mid-November and mid-December.
