🌱Planting Instructions

Approx seeds per order 30

Vining beans can grow 10–15 feet long and require sturdy support such as trellises, stakes, or fences to climb. Pole varieties are more productive than bush beans, often yielding over a longer period and rewarding regular harvesting with continuous new growth.

Sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, once soil temperatures reach at least 48°F. Choose a location with 6–8 hours of full sun daily. Plant seeds 1 inch deep, placing 3–4 seeds at the base of each support. Set up trellises or stakes before planting to avoid disturbing young roots. Space supports at least 6 inches apart for proper airflow and growth.

Water deeply and consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Because beans have shallow roots, weed carefully to avoid disturbing the plants. Harvest beans frequently—pods left on the vine too long will become tough and reduce overall production. For the best flavor and texture, pick beans as soon as they reach full size but are still tender.
