This variety blends classic charm with reliable performance, presenting a satisfying harvest from mid to late summer.

What makes it a gardener-friendly pick

The plants grow compact and bushy, which helps you maximize space in beds, raised planters, or larger containers. Seeds germinate best in warm soil, and you can expect a maturity window of about 50–55 days, with continuous yields throughout the season. Suitable for a wide climate range, Bennings Green Tint thrives in USDA Zones 3–11 when given full sun and well-draining soil.

• Compact growth ideal for small plots and container gardening
