Carmen low beans are a bush variety of red kidney beans. They are known for their high productivity and strong resistance to diseases. The term “low beans” refers to their compact, bushy growth habit. Unlike pole beans, Carmen low beans do not climb and do not require staking.
🌿 Characteristics
Plant size: Plants grow to about 40 cm (16 inches) in height. Their compact form makes them ideal for smaller gardens or container growing.
Pods: Pods measure approximately 15–20 cm (6–8 inches) in length. Each pod contains six to seven dark red beans.
Hardiness: Carmen low beans are resistant to mildew and other common bean diseases. They adapt well to cooler growing seasons.
Harvest: These beans are harvested as dry beans. The harvest usually occurs in early September. Exact timing may vary depending on local climate conditions.
🍽 Culinary Uses
Carmen low beans have a rich, full flavor. They are ideal for salads, stews, chili con carne, and other dishes that call for kidney beans. Their texture remains firm when cooked, making them versatile in a variety of recipes.
🌱 Growing Tips
Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil.
Sunlight: Full sun is preferred, though partial shade is tolerated.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during flowering and pod development. Avoid waterlogging.
Spacing: Space plants about 30–40 cm apart to allow airflow and reduce disease risk.
Support: As a bush variety, Carmen beans do not need trellises or poles.
🌍 Bush vs. Pole Beans
Low (bush) beans: Self-supporting, compact, easy to grow in small spaces. Carmen low beans belong to this group.
Pole beans: Climbing plants that require stakes, poles, or trellises to grow vertically.
