Runner bean 'Czar'

Czar likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Czar is thought of as tender, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Planting Czar in loamy and clay soil with a ph of between 6.0 and 6.8 is ideal for as it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Aim to sow 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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