How to grow Runner bean 'Buton'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Buton likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Buton is generally regarded as a tender plant, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Buton needs a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 6.0 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Growing Buton from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) between Runner bean plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 16°C / 61°F.

Transplanting Buton

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