How to grow Bean 'Etna'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Etna is generally regarded as a tender plant, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Etna needs a soil ph of 6.0 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Growing Etna 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 Bean plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 16°C / 61°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Etna about 14 days after your last frost date.

Transplanting Etna

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