Bean 'Cherokee'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Cherokee is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Cherokee tends to grow best in a soil ph of between 6.0 and 6.8 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil.

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

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

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