Sow ‘Gold, Purple & Green’ Tricolor Bush Bean after the soil has warmed and cold, wet conditions have passed. Use the recorded spacing and provide support when the variety has a climbing habit. Check moisture at root depth, especially during flowering and pod development, while avoiding a rigid calendar. Harvest pods at the stage described for the variety and continue checking plants as more pods develop. Allow seed-saving or dry-bean pods to mature according to the intended use.
Before sowing ‘Gold, Purple & Green’ Tricolor Bush Bean, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Planting: In the Spring, once weather is warm and settled and night temperatures stay securely above 55°F (13°C), plant seeds in well-worked, fertile soil in full sun. Poke seeds in 1" deep and 4" apart in rows 1-1/2' to 2' apart. Make several sowings 2 weeks apart until the end of June to provide continued harvests.
Growing: Tender, crispy garden beans are an easy reliable crop to grow, but don't plant seeds too early as cold conditions prevent good germination. If first sowing comes up unevenly, replant right away; new seedlings will catch up quickly. Birds are often attracted to young bean seedlings, so watch carefully and protect with netting or floating row covers if necessary. Avoid cultivating plants or picking pods when plants are wet.
Harvest & Use: Pick beans frequently to encourage plants to continue making new blossoms and pods. For best eating, harvest beans when they are slender and before the seeds inside the pods have filled out. Enjoy tender-crisp beans quickly steamed or sautéed to serve hot, or toss all three colors in an herbal vinaigrette. Cooked beans combine well with squash, carrots or corn, accented with fresh chopped dill or thyme for pretty summer meals.

These beans were delicious steamed, though the purple beans lose their color upon cooking, which I did not know though probably should have. I live in USDA Zone 7, and I had beans for most of the summer. Even gave seeds away to a friend who was also happy with them. Have started a fall crop. Fingers crossed.
