Strike Bush Bean Seeds | High-Yield Stringless | Heirloom Flavor

Strike has earned its reputation in home gardens and professional fields alike as a variety that rarely disappoints.

• The "Concentrated" Harvest: While some beans produce a few pods at a time over a long period, Strike is bred for "concentrated set." This means a large percentage of your crop matures simultaneously, allowing you to harvest a massive amount of beans in just a few passes.
• A Proven Performer: This variety has been a reliable favorite for generations, valued for its disease resistance and its ability to produce top-quality, pencil-thin beans even in fluctuating spring and summer temperatures.

Strike beans are the classic green bean—crisp, clean, and delicious.

• The Pods: The beans are slender, round, and straight, typically growing to about 5–6 inches long. They are a rich, medium-green color and are almost entirely stringless, providing that sought-after "snap" with every bite.
• The Flavor: They offer a clean, classic bean flavor with a subtle sweetness. Because they are so tender, they are the perfect bean to eat raw right off the plant or lightly steamed with a bit of butter and salt.
• The Habit: These are true "bush" beans, growing into neat, 18–20 inch tall mounds. They require no trellising, making them perfect for raised beds, container gardens, or direct-sown rows.

Strike is a vigorous, upright grower that holds its pods well above the soil, which helps keep the harvest clean and easy to pick.

"Strike is our favorite 'canner' bean. We love it because when you're ready to put food away for the winter, this bean gives you a huge harvest all at once. The pods are so straight and slender, they’re a joy to prep in the kitchen, and the 'snap' is consistently crisp. It’s a variety that just keeps producing, and because the plants are so compact, they don’t take over the entire vegetable patch."

• Sowing: Plant seeds 1 inch deep in warm soil after all danger of frost has passed. You can sow every 2–3 weeks throughout the summer for a continuous supply of fresh beans.
• The Harvest: Pick your Strike beans while the pods are still slender and firm. Don't let the seeds inside get too large or bumpy, as that's when the pods lose their tenderness.
• Staggered Planting: Because Strike matures so uniformly, we recommend planting small batches every two weeks if you want fresh beans for salads all summer long, rather than planting a whole bed at once!
