Bean 'Long Zi'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Long Zi is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Long Zi needs a soil ph of 6.0 to 6.8 (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). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 16°C / 61°F.

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

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