Planting instructions
Direct sow in late spring after frost risk has passed and the soil has warmed. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Sow approximately 1–1.5 inches deep, spacing seeds 3–6 inches apart in rows approximately 18 inches apart.
Growing and care
Keep soil evenly moist during establishment without allowing it to become waterlogged. Adjust watering for rainfall and heat. Feed only as needed for your soil conditions, following the instructions on a suitable garden fertilizer. This variety is listed as not requiring trellising.
Harvesting your crop
For dry beans, allow pods to mature and dry before shelling. If wet weather threatens, finish drying harvested plants or pods in a sheltered, well-ventilated location. Make sure beans are fully dry before storing them in a cool, dry place.
From garden to kitchen
Cook harvested beans thoroughly before eating. Simmer them for savory soups and curries, pair them with rice, or prepare sweet red bean paste for desserts. The seeds supplied here are for planting, not ready-to-eat food or seeds designated for raw sprouting.
