Fordhook 242 Lima Bean (Bush)
Fordhook 242 Lima Bean is the gold standard of butter beans — large, creamy-white seeds with a rich, buttery flavor and a meaty, satisfying texture that makes them outstanding in succotash, cassoulet, and simple preparations where their full, hearty character can shine. The compact, reliable bush plants produce an impressive harvest of plump, well-filled pods on an early-maturing schedule that makes this one of the most rewarding lima bean varieties for the home garden.
