Phaseolus lunatus 
Season. 
Days to 
Picking 
Lima beans are similar to other beans in preferring a warm climatic environment. The best 
performance will be obtained if they are seeded in warm moist soil with at least a moderate amount 
of soil fertility. They have the ability to withstand longer dry periods without rain than do bush 
snap beans. Also they have the advantage of recovering more quickly and producing again after 
experiencing adverse weather conditions.
