How to grow Bean 'Argus'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Argus 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. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 6.8 as Argus likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Argus from seed

Sow 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 3.9 inches (10.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Argus

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