I have only grown Elena out of that list and they did fine for me. I have some from Realseeds called Gaia this year. I bought them for last year, but they never got sown, as I got behind in spring due to work and had to put some stuff aside for the following year.
They are as easy as any other dwarf beans to grow. I would recommend people grow them as edamame. I have tried growing them for dried beans and they really are not that different to decent quality bought ones. If I want edamame I can get frozen ones, but they are inferior in taste and texture to homegrown ones that I have frozen for later use.
The plants pull energy out of the leaves to make the pods, so if you want dry beans, you wait until all the leaves have fallen. For edamame, you wait until you see decent sized beans in the pods. Some leaves will have gone by them, but they should still have most of them. They don’t re-crop like dwarf french beans.
