Know before you buy
Yes, Lady Di is specifically bred to be completely stringless. Even when the pods reach longer lengths, they maintain a tender texture without developing tough strings.
Absolutely. Because Lady Di is an open-pollinated variety, you can successfully save the seeds from your harvest to plant in future seasons.
You should sow the seeds 2 to 4 inches apart. Once they begin to grow, thin the plants so they are spaced 4 inches apart to ensure proper airflow and development.
Yes, as a pole runner bean variety, Lady Di requires a trellis, fence, or pole system to climb. Providing vertical support will keep the pods off the ground and make harvesting easier.
Yes, the vibrant, lipstick-red blooms are highly attractive to hummingbirds. They serve as both a productive vegetable crop and an ornamental feature that supports local pollinators.
Lady Di is a nitrogen-fixing legume. As the plants grow, they naturally capture nitrogen from the air and store it in their roots, which helps enrich the soil for your future plantings.
