This is a good one, beautiful plant, great production and taste. The heat and humidity of this area doesn't slow it down in production. Give it plenty of room because the vines will travel.

Richmond, Georgia, United States
Frost Free Season: 183 - 203 days
Soil Texture: Sand
Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40')
Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day

This cultivar performs almost as well as Carolina in this area of Georgia. Appearance and taste similar to Henderson's Baby Lima. Very large vine, that holds for a long time.
