Know before you buy
This variety is distinguished by its unique raspberry-pink tint on the pods and eye-catching bi-colored flowers. Beyond its appearance, it features ornate hyper tendrils and was specifically bred by Dr. Alan Kapuler for both ornamental appeal and excellent flavor.
To maximize your yield, consider applying a rhizobium bacteria inoculant to the seeds before planting. Additionally, picking the pods daily encourages the plant to continue producing throughout the season.
While they are a popular choice for spring planting, this variety is also suitable for fall cultivation. Ensure they are planted in full sun and provided with moderate, consistent watering.
Sow the seeds one inch deep into the soil. Space each seed one to two inches apart to allow the vigorous vines enough room to grow and climb.
You can expect germination to occur within 7 to 14 days when soil temperatures are between 50 and 75ºF. The plants typically reach maturity and are ready for harvest in approximately 70 days.
