Phaseolus vulgaris

Stocky but bushy plants produce a nice crop of tender, broad, flattened, medium green pods 12-15cm (5-6") long. Used both fresh as a snap bean as well as freezing. Delicious flavour abounds!

Approx. 35 seeds/pkt

How to Grow

Beans tolerate a wide range of soil types. Their best growth is in light, organic, well drained soil with a pH of about 6.5. Beans have a distinct dislike for cold, wet soils, so sow seed only after the soil has warmed to at least 16C (60F). Sow 2.5cm (1") deep and 8cm (3") apart in rows spaced 45 to 70cm (18 to 28") apart. To ensure a continuous harvest, sow bush-type varieties every 10 days until mid-July. Keep beans evenly watered, particularly when the plants are in flower and when production of the pods start. Avoid the use of high nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen promotes excessive foliage. Avoid disturbing beans when leaves are damp to reduce the incidence of disease.
