Growing Tips

1. Planting: Directly sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date, when the soil temperature has warmed to above 60°F (16°C). Space seeds 2–3 inches apart in rows 18–24 inches apart.
2. Consistent Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, particularly during flowering and pod setting. Water deeply to encourage healthy root development, but avoid overwatering or waterlogged conditions.
3. Fertilization: Beans fix nitrogen in the soil, so they require less fertilization. However, a balanced fertilizer can be applied lightly at planting to support early growth.
4. Support for Growth: As a bush variety, Flagrano beans do not require trellising, but they will benefit from being spaced appropriately for optimal air circulation and growth.
5. Harvesting: Harvest when the pods are young, tender, and crisp for snap beans. If you prefer dried beans, allow the pods to mature fully on the vine, and then harvest and dry them for storage.
