Planting Instructions for White Dixie Butterpea’s Bean Seeds

Soaking White Dixie Butterpea’s bean seeds in water 1-2 hours before planting speeds germination. Germination occurs in 4-16 days in soil 60-85°F. Provide support for heirloom pole bean varieties. For heirloom snap beans, harvest when beans are 3-6″ long.
