Planting Details
| Row Spacing | 24" |
|---|---|
| Seed Depth | 1" |
| Seed Spacing | 1 seeds every 4" to 6" |
| Thinning | Not required |
| Germination | 6–12 days |
| Start Indoors | Not recommended. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 65°F, ideally 70°–85°F. Successive Sowings: Every 7 to 14 days up to 80 days before your average first fall frost date. NOTE: In very hot summer areas, skip sowing as high heat approaches; temperatures consistently above 90°F will prevent beans from forming. |
| Growing & Harvesting | Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when the seeds have just begun to form and the pods are several inches long (depending on the variety). Hold the stem with one hand, and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches, which will continue to produce. At season's end, plants are great compost material if they are disease-free. |

- LeighVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars9/1/25“magic” beans
These have been my favorite beans to grow this year! Every seed germinated, which blew my mind! But I think the best part about these beans is how easy they are to find when you’re harvesting them! Just move your leaves around and BAM! there’s a purple beauty ready to go! Definitely don’t have the same yield as the provider, but such a fun addition to the garden. I keep telling my friends with kids that they should grow this variety and see if the little magic of going from purple to green when cooked would encourage their kids to eat their veggies!
