How to grow Runner bean 'Flamenco'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Flamenco likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Flamenco is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Ideally plant in loamy and clay soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 6.8 as Flamenco likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Flamenco 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. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

Transplanting Flamenco

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Flamenco is a tender plant.
