Planting Details
| Row Spacing | 24" |
|---|---|
| Seed Depth | 1" |
| Seed Spacing | 1 seed every 4" |
| Thinning | Not required |
| Germination | 6–12 Days |
| Start Indoors | Not recommended; bean seedlings are sensitive to root disturbance. |
| 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. |

I've grown a variety of bush beans. Purple ones, yellow ones, several green varieties. This variety is hands down the best one of all. Beans can get quite large but still be very tender. I won't grow another variety after this experience.
