Bean 'Nez Perce'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Nez Perce is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Nez Perce tends to grow best in a soil ph of between 6.0 and 6.8 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 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 Nez Perce about 14 days after your last frost date.

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