HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow Royal Burgundy green bush bean seeds outside at least 1 week after the last frost, since beans are quite sensitive to cold. They should be planted in rich, well drained soil with full sun exposure. If you have never planted beans in your garden before, treat the seeds with a powder inoculant to allow the process of nitrogen fixation to begin. Sow Royal Burgundy green bush bean seeds 1" deep and 3" apart, in rows 2'-3' apart, and press down the earth above them for good soil contact. These seeds rot easily in wet soil, so do not over water them. Germination should take place 7-12 days after planting. For companion planting benefits, plant bush beans near carrots, cucumbers, or corn; avoid planting them near onions.
Growing: After germination, maintain soil moisture; beans have shallow roots, and need water at least once a week if the weather is dry. Mulching the plants helps conserve moisture and discourages weeds. Royal Burgundy resists bean beetles and other disease quite well.
Harvesting: Expect your first beans about ten weeks after germination. Daily harvesting improves production; for best flavor and tenderness, pick the beans when they are no larger than a pencil in thickness, or from 4-8" long. Serve or preserve the same day you harvested them for the freshest taste.
Seed Saving: Near the end of the growing season, allow the beans to dry completely on the vine; the pods will be light brown, and the seeds will rattle inside. Remove the seeds from the pods. After Royal Burgundy green bush bean seeds are completely dry, store them in a cool, dry place for up to a year.

Very pretty stealth beans
Although it's advertised that these beans should be easier to find and harvest due to their pretty colors, that's a bunch of hooey. These purple beans hide quite well among the foliage. They turn green when cooked, and they taste delicious, so they're a new favorite mainly because they seem resistant to whatever bean disease hits the other types of beans around here. Typically, I can get 2-3 harvests of beans before the leaves change colors and the beans become deformed and not filled out and I have to start over. These purple versions seem to hold out longer before that happens, so I get more harvests. Gonna keep this one on the roster.
