How to grow Bean 'Snowcap'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Snowcap is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Snowcap requires a soil ph of 6.0 - 6.8 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Snowcap from seed

Look to ensure a distance 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Snowcap

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