This superb, early-maturing variety grows well in low daylight conditions, producing bountiful crops of 15cm (6”) long pods filled with 5-7 tasty, creamy-coloured beans per pod.
Sow seeds into soil prepared by digging and raking at a depth of 5cm, and 15-23cm apart. Best sown alternately in double rows allowing 23cm between the two lines forming each row (see illustration). Allow 60-90cm between further rows. Germination 7-21 days. Can also be sown in pots or trays of compost on a windowsill or in a greenhouse for eventual planting outside. Pods are 15cm long and 3cm wide with 5-7 beans per pod. This variety has a good tolerance to soil borne diseases. Water well during dry weather to aid flower setting and bean formation.
Sowing -> Cropping – 12-16 weeks.
