Bean Seeds - Brown

Bean seeds develop into annual plants with a compact to moderately spreading growth habit, suited for cultivation during warm, frost free growing seasons. Brown bean types are commonly grown in home gardens, raised beds, and small plots where soil warmth and good drainage are available. Plants establish well from direct sowing and adapt to a range of temperate climates. This type is suitable for seasonal garden use where consistent sunlight and regular moisture can be maintained.
