Lake Valley Roma II Italian Flat Pod Bean Seeds

Remarkable flavor and tenderness! A popular choice for home gardeners seeking unique flavor, high yields, and ease of care. These bush beans offer a twist on the classic green bean, boasting flat, flavorful pods with the robust flavor of Roma pole beans on easy-to-grow bush plants. A compact, manageable plant size. Delicious fresh, canned, or frozen. 

Sowing Information:

  • Light: Full Sun
  • When to Start Inside: Not recommended; bean plants do not transplant well.
  • When to Sow Outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when the soil temperature is at least 65°F, ideally 70°–85°F. Successive Sowings: Every 7 to 14 days up to 80 days before your average first fall frost date. NOTE: In very hot summer areas, skip sowing as high heat approaches; temperatures consistently above 90°F will prevent beans from forming.
  • Seed Depth: Plant seeds 1 inch deep
  • Seed Spacing: 1 seed every 4 inches
  • Row Spacing: 24 inches
  • Thinning: Not required
  • Days to Germinate: 6–12 days
  • Days to Maturity: 55 days

    Growing Notes: 

    • Harvesting: Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when the seeds have just begun to form and the pods are several inches long (depending on the variety). Hold the stem with one hand, and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches, which will continue to produce. At the season's end, plants are great compost material if they are disease-free.
    • Attributes: Good for container gardening

    "Love this place. Great variety to choose from."

    "Wow! What a wonderful first time to Bath!! The staff is beautiful!! Professional, knowledgeable and so willing to help and inform. The selection of indoor plants (this is what I came in for) is spectacular and the care they give their plants is exceptional. Hundreds of plants and in my time at Bath saw not one brown leaf. No dying plants and no unhealthy plants which tells me that they are meticulous in their care. I would like to give a shout out to “The Sheriff.” I believe her real name is Martha! Unbelievable human being. They went over and above to help me find the perfect oversized houseplant. They made it a beautiful experience and not just a buying experience. Sheriff!! You made me a happy man, customer and future customer of Bath!! ✌🏼❤️"

    "Although matching colors were sold out staff assisted with the search to match what a cabbage looper devoured."

    "This is a beautiful garden store in Ft. Collins, Colo. This isn't a discount store but the quality of their plants and merchandise are good quality. We are a cactus/succulent family and we found some very healthy plants, some different than we have found previously. Large facility broken up into manageable rooms for browsing. The employees are there if you need them and the young man at the register was pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating. If you enjoy spending time at a nursery/garden store there is no reason not to enjoy the Bath Garden Center."
