Mung Bean Seeds - Green

Green mung bean seeds produce fast-growing, warm-season annual plants with an upright to slightly spreading growth habit. Plants are commonly grown in garden beds, raised beds, and field plantings and are well adapted to warm climates with short growing seasons. Mung beans perform best in full sun and well-drained soil and are tolerant of heat when moisture is consistent. They are suitable for home gardens and small-scale cultivation where quick establishment and seasonal growth are desired.
