Territorial Seed Company Cranberry

Because these are bush-type plants, they are excellent for containers. Ensure your pot is at least 12 inches deep and provides full sun exposure for the best yield.

For fresh snap beans, harvest when the pods are slender, firm, and bright green, typically before the seeds inside bulge significantly. For dry shelling, leave the pods on the plant until they turn papery, dry, and brittle, allowing the beans inside to harden completely.

No, these are bush-type beans and are self-supporting. They grow in a compact habit, so you won't need stakes or trellises to keep them upright.

Cranberry beans are nitrogen-fixing legumes. They form a symbiotic relationship with beneficial soil bacteria that capture nitrogen from the air and convert it into a form that plants can use, naturally enriching your soil for future crops.

These beans germinate best when soil temperatures are between 60°F and 85°F. Planting in cold, wet soil can cause the seeds to rot before they have a chance to sprout.

When stored in a cool, dry, and dark location, these seeds typically remain viable for 2 to 3 years. Keep them in an airtight container to maintain the best germination rate.
