How to grow Bean 'Speedy'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Speedy 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 Speedy likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Speedy from seed

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 Speedy about 14 days after your last frost date.

Transplanting Speedy

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