Empress Snap Green Bean
50 Seeds
By popular vote, Empress is by far the best-tasting snap bean we've grown (and we've tried many). While it is as good of a canning bean as any other, the flavor of fresh steamed or sautéed Empress is in a league of its own. Healthy, 20-inch-tall plants produce heavily and consistently across a variety of environments. If you can grow only one snap bean variety, we highly recommend "Empress". Bush habit. Harvests begin approximately 55 days after sowing. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.

Customer Reviews
My Empress beans are just now maturing and while I was slightly skeptical going in that the flavor was better than any green bush bean, I have to admit, the taste is exceptional. They were the second bush beans planted this spring and are picking up where old reliable Contender is leaving off. I had good germination despite our usual heavy spring rains, the plants are bearing heavily now and are nice and healthy. I think this variety is an absolute keeper for me.
