Bean 'Golden Wax'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Golden Wax is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Golden Wax needs a soil ph of 6.0 to 6.8 (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). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 16°C / 61°F.

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

Best to sow these seeds direct into the garden bed.

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

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in early summer.
