IS IT EASY Growing Cherokee Wax

Cherokee Wax Bean Germination:

Direct sow seeds in rich, well drained soil in full sun at least a week after the last expected frost, since beans are quite sensitive to cold. Treat the seeds with a powder inoculation to allow the process of nitrogen fixation to begin.

Plant them 1" deep and 3-6" apart, in rows about 2' apart; press down the earth above them for good soil contact. These seeds rot easily in wet soil, so do not over water them. Germination should take place 7-10 days after planting. For companion planting benefits, plant bush beans near carrots, cucumbers, or corn; avoid planting them near onions.

Growing Cherokee Wax Bean Seeds

After germination, maintain soil moisture; beans have shallow roots, and need water at least once a week if the weather is dry. Mulching the plants helps conserve moisture and discourages weeds.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 1.95 inches (5.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 16°C / 61°F.
You should look at sowing Cherokee wax about 14 days after your last frost date.
Cherokee wax is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
