Growing tips

Germination after 8-15 days at 12-20°C. When growing in clusters: 30x40 cm with 4-6 grains each, harvest the beans only when the pods are completely dry. Mounding improves stability. September - October, harvest the completely dry pods. The young, colorful pods can also be harvested as snap beans or as half-ripe, still soft pal beans after approx. 3 months.
