Bean 'Hildora'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Hildora is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Hildora needs a soil ph of 6.0 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.92 inches (7.5 cm) and sow at a depth of around 1.95 inches (5.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 15°C / 59°F.

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

Sow in modules for transplanting outside in May, alternatively sow direct outside in May. Plant spacing 25 × 75cm. Harvest from July onwards.

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

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in late summer.
