Runner bean 'Barnett'

Barnett likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Barnett is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Barnett needs a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 6.0 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Sow 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 3.9 inches (10.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 16°C / 61°F.

Barnett is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
