Runner bean 'Golden Sunshine'

Vines are 5-6 feet long, need climbing space.

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Golden Sunshine is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Ensure your soil is loamy and clay and has a ph of between 6.0 and 6.8 as Runner bean is a weakly acidic soil loving plant.

Look to ensure a distance 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

Mature pods are 6-8 inches long.
