Yunnan Lima Bean (Phaseolus lunatus) Net wt:~10 seeds

A vigorous, heat-loving bean grown for creamy, rich seedpods.. Plants climb and yield best with trellis or sturdy stakes. Yunnan-Lima beans prefer warm soil and a long, sunny summer—perfect for late-season harvests.

Direct sow after the last frost when soil is truly warm (18–20°C+). Plant 2–3 cm (1″) deep, 10–15 cm (4–6″) apart; space rows 60–90 cm (24–36″). Keep evenly watered during flowering and pod fill. Harvest young pods for fresh eating, or let pods dry on the plant for shelling beans. Pick regularly to encourage continued production; protect from early frost to finish drying. Chigarden 2026
