Znichka (Shooting Star) is an excellent compact bush bean that produces loads of yellow beans. The plants are only 18” but full of pods. And this prolific producer is early!
This is another fantastic bean for short season gardens from the Paula Dubeski Bean Collection.
About the Paula Dubeski Bean Collection:
Paula is a long-time seed saver in Lacombe, Alberta who has kindly shared her bean collection with us! We are so grateful to Paula. Over the years, Paula has sought out hardy, early season varieties and then trialed and stewarded these beans in her Zone 3b garden. Paula, along with her growing partner Amy, have helped make these early season beans even better through their efforts to adapt these varieties to the challenges of her Zone 3b gardens.
Paula has taken the guesswork out of which beans will do well in a short season garden. We currently offer King of the Early (out of stock), Maine Sunset, Tiger’s Eye, White Cloud Cannellini (out of stock) & Znichka from her collection. Over time we will continue to add more of her beans to our lineup.

How to Grow Bush Beans? Sowing: Plant bean seeds in the spring when the soil warms up — usually the end of May/early June. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge (1 week or so). Spacing: Space seeds 3 inches or so apart and sow 1 inch or so deep. Thinning: Thin to 6 inches apart once seedlings are up (3 to 4 inches tall).
