Bean 'Portuguese White'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Portuguese White is thought of as tender, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 6.8 as Portuguese White likes to be 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.

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

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