How to grow Lima bean 'Concador'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Concador is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. A soil ph of between 6.6 and 7.5 is ideal for Concador as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Concador from seed

Sow 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 1.95 feet (60.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

Transplanting Concador

As Concador is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
