Bean Seeds, Nautica Dwarf
(Phaseolus vulgaris). Bush bean. A tender and toothsome stringless bush green bean. Plants are reliable, productive, uniform, and, most importantly, they produce delicious pods. The lavender flowers of this beautiful selection give way to emerald green beans. We love this green bean for fresh eating, stir frying, or making pickled dilly beans! Allow the beans to dry for deep obsidian black beans.

Growing Tips
Nautica Dwarf beans thrive in sunny locations with rich, well-draining soil. Their compact size makes them ideal for succession planting and intercropping. Keep soil consistently moist during flowering and pod formation for the best yields.
When to Grow
Sow Nautica Dwarf beans outdoors after the last frost when soil temperatures reach 60°F or warmer. In warm climates, sow every few weeks for a continuous harvest. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'
How to Sow and Plant
Plant seeds 1 inch deep in well-prepared soil. Space them 3 to 5 inches apart in rows that are 18 inches apart. Water gently after planting and keep soil evenly moist until emergence.
How to Grow
Due to their dwarf size, Nautica beans require no support. Regular watering and weeding will keep plants healthy. Mulch can help conserve moisture and reduce weed pressure, especially during hot, dry periods.
How to Save
- Let pods mature and dry completely on the plant
- Harvest when pods turn tan and brittle
- Shell and remove the dried beans
- Store seeds in airtight containers, labeled with variety and year
- Keep in a cool, dark, and dry location
FAQ
Can I grow Nautica Dwarf beans in containers?
Yes! These beans are perfect for containers due to their compact growth habit. Use a pot at least 10 inches deep and ensure it receives full sun daily.
How often should I harvest Nautica Dwarf beans?
Check plants every 2–3 days during peak season. Regular harvesting encourages more pod production and ensures beans are tender and flavorful.
Do Nautica Dwarf beans require fertilization?
They grow well in fertile soil without heavy feeding. If needed, apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer early in the growing season to promote pod development over leafy growth.
