Lima bean: Snow on the Mountain

Description

This variety is from Peak Week Pods. JC Terblanche says: ‘This is a productive and lovely-looking smallish bean that was grown by the family of Reverend Roy Blount of Louisiana, USA, from 1880. The white colouration resembles snow on the dull red/brown background (the mountain). It’s a fitting name for this bean. The plants climb up to 1.5 m in height, but love to grow sideways as well which makes them appear compact. Small white flowers will reward you with a bumper crop of lima beans that can be eaten freshly shelled or dried. They take slightly longer to grow than other varieties but the yields will keep going until winter. This makes Snow on the Mountain totally worth the wait. Pick regularly for best yields.’
