Bean Seeds "Cherokee Wax" - 30 Seeds Dwarf Variety
 
"Cherokee Wax" is a popular dwarf bush bean variety, celebrated for its vibrant yellow, straight, and tender pods. These delicious beans offer a crisp texture and a sweet, buttery flavour, making them a superb choice for fresh eating, steaming, stir-frying, or canning. As a dwarf variety, they are perfect for smaller gardens, containers, or for gardeners who prefer a more compact plant that doesn't require staking, offering an easy and abundant harvest.
 
 
To prepare "Cherokee Wax" bean seeds for planting, no specific pre-treatment like scarification or cold stratification is typically required. Beans generally germinate readily without these steps. However, soaking the seeds in lukewarm water for 2-4 hours prior to planting can sometimes help to speed up germination, though it's not essential. Avoid soaking for too long as it can lead to rot.
 
 
Sow the seeds directly into well-drained soil in a sunny location once all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up (soil temperature ideally above 16°C). Plant seeds about 2.5-5 cm deep and 10-15 cm apart, with rows spaced about 45-60 cm apart. Maintain consistent moisture, especially during flowering and pod development, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to fungal issues. These dwarf plants do not typically require support and will produce a concentrated harvest, making them very efficient for home gardeners. Repeated sowings every 2-3 weeks can ensure a continuous supply throughout the growing season.
