How to grow Bean 'Saxonia'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Saxonia is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 6.8 as Saxonia likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Saxonia from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) between Bean plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Saxonia

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