About Royal Burgundy Bush Bean

Perfect for fresh eating, steaming, or sautéing, the pods turn green when cooked, surprising and delighting in the kitchen. With its space-saving habit, Royal Burgundy is a great choice for container gardens, raised beds, and small-scale plots, and makes harvesting easy with its upright growth.

Where Can You Grow Royal Burgundy Bush Bean?
Thrives in Zones 3–9 in full sun with well-drained soil. Compact and tidy, these plants are perfect for tight garden spaces, patios, or even balcony containers.
