Technical specifications
| Approx. Seed Count | 45 seeds |
| When to Sow | April to September |
| Where to Sow | Early sowings can be made underglass at a temperature of 16°C. Outside sowings can be made from May onwards into the growing site |
| What to do Next | Seedlings sown underglass should be gradually hardened off before planting outside in late May to the above spacing, once all risk of frost has past. Place a support cane at each planting station. Alternatively circular plantings can be made with canes joined at the centre to form a wigwam. For optimum crop, place canes 30-45cm (12-18") apart with 3 beans planted per cane. Water regularly during dry weather. |
