GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
ANNUAL VINE
Summer/fall bloom with edible pods and seeds
Frost tender
EASIEST TO START DIRECTLY IN THE GARDEN
In late spring once weather is warm and settled and nights stay above 50°F (10°C), plant seeds in a sunny spot. Erect well-anchored supports at planting time to support the rapidly growing vines. Poke seeds in 1 inch deep and firm soil over them. If training bean vines up poles, plant 4 or 5 beans several inches from each pole, or plant seeds 3 to 4 inches apart along a fence or trellis. Keep soil evenly moist while awaiting germination in 7 to 10 days.
THIN OR TRANSPLANT
Beans don’t transplant well, so we advise sowing seeds where they are to grow. Thin seedlings to 6 - 8 inches apart.
GROWING NOTES
Always wait until weather is warm before planting seeds so beans will germinate and grow well. Keep bean vines well watered. In very hot climates, beans will flower but not set pods until weather moderates in fall. Both the crispy bean flavored blossoms and the flat green pods are deliciously edible; let some of the pretty beans mature in their pods to use for tasty dry bean recipes.I am that you are marketing heirloom plants.
These beans germinated quickly and almost every seed came up. It seemed that overnight they were climbing poles.
very good quality seeds. I have them growing in my vegetable garden for the hummingbirds and pollinators. I planted four directly in the garden and all four came up.
