Born from the millennia-old agricultural heritage of the Andes and adapted to the needs of modern gardeners, the Henderson Bush Lima Bean embodies the alliance between nourishing tradition and ease of cultivation. Its compact, bushy shape, requiring no staking, makes it an ideal choice for small gardens, container gardening, or urban vegetable patches.

This old cultivar, introduced to North America in the late 19th century, is prized for its hardiness, drought tolerance, and continuous production. It thrives in light, well-drained soils under ample sunshine, where it forms a dense ground cover that protects the soil. Its inconspicuous flowers herald full pods, each containing up to four plump, melt-in-your-mouth seeds.

An ideal companion plant, it enriches the soil with nitrogen, promotes microbial biodiversity, and embodies a form of sustainable and resilient food crop, perfectly integrated into a nourishing ecological garden.
