Product Info
How to grow
Pole beans need warm soil to germinate, especially when using these untreated seeds. Do not plant in cold wet soil!
Timing: Direct sow from late spring to early summer in warm soil. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 21-32 degrees C (70-90F). Seeds should sprout in 8-16 days.
Seeding: Sow 2 (1") deep, and 5-10cm (2-4") apart, in rows 45cm (18") apart.
Growing: Well drained, warm soil is best. Raised beds help with both drainage and warmth. Use 1 cup of balanced organic fertilizer for each 3m (10') of row. Too much nitrogen is often the cause of poor pod set and delayed maturity. Pole beans prefer full sun exposure and some sort of trellis or other support. Keep vines picked for a longer harvest - if seeds are allowed to mature, flowering will cease.
Seed specs: Usual seed life: 3 years.
