Runner bean 'Nugget'

Nugget likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Nugget 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. Nugget requires a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 6.0 - 6.8 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 1.95 inches (5.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

Direct sow after last frost. There is no need to soak seeds before planting and no need to heavily water after planting. Plant more every two weeks.

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