Product Information

A ‘Kenyan type’ of compact bush habit to 50cm, producing an abundance of slender, round, dark green pods up to 11cm in length. Pick regularly for heaviest crops. Stands hot weather well. Resistant to bean mosaic and anthracnose.

These beans require a minimum soil temperature of 20C, so seed sowing must be delayed until these conditions prevail, usually from May in succession to August. Earlier sowings can be made under glass during March and April for earliest crops. Prepare the soil prior to sowing to create a level, weed free bed. Plant seed in rows 50cm apart with seed stations every 25cm in the rows. Using a dibber place 3 to 4 seeds at each station 3 to 5cm deep. Cover seeds with soil and firm.

Water regularly after sowing and throughout the cropping period. No staking is required. Support for the plants can be achieved by pulling soil from between the rows towards the base of the plants.
