This AAS award winning compact bush bean is great choice for the new gardener. The bushes are low-growing, self-supporting, and shallow-rooted, making it suitable for container gardening. The plant is generally trouble-free and produces tasty 18cm (7") long, round green pods. Like other bush beans, Derby produces a one-time crop but the beans have a good holding ability so growers can enjoy an extended harvest. The above average yields are also easy to pick. Lengthen the growing season with succession planting until mid-summer. Derby is resistant to Common Bean Mosaic Virus.
