Bean 'Italian Flat'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Italian Flat 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. Italian Flat requires a soil ph of 6.0 - 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 Italian Flat about 14 days after your last frost date.

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