Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information, and other details shown on our website are accurate and up to date. However, this information is provided as a general guide only and may occasionally vary between batches, suppliers, or individual plants.

Stock availability
Our website stock levels update live based on our inventory system, and we work hard to keep them as accurate as possible. However, stock counts can occasionally be incorrect due to in-store sales, damage, or stock discrepancies. This is especially possible when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Plant images
Plant photos are provided as a guide to show what a plant may look like when mature and established. In most cases, the image shown is not of the exact individual plant for sale, as this would require constant photo updates across our range. Plants purchased may vary from the images shown in size, fullness, colour, and stage of growth.

Plant sizing
Sizes refer to the size of the pot the plant is sold in, rather than the exact size of the plant itself. For example,

  • 100 mm refers to a 10 cm diameter pot,
  • 140 mm refers to a 14 cm diameter pot,
  • 5L refers to a 5 litre pot, etc.

In general, smaller pot sizes usually indicate younger plants, though the actual size and development of the plant can vary significantly depending on the species, variety, and growth habit.

Photo sourcing and AI-generated imagery
Images used on our website are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under free-use licensing, or used with permission from the original owner. In some cases, AI-assisted imagery may be used where suitable real-world photos are difficult to obtain, in order to help demonstrate what a plant looks like. Where this is done, care is taken to ensure the image remains as true to life as reasonably possible.

Description

Botanical Name: Phaseolus vulgaris

25g

This popular dwarf variety makes strong and upright growth of good yields of fleshy, oval, lemon coloured pods with an excellent flavour. In summer they reach maturity in approx. 55 days and are easy to grow on most cultivated soils, preferring a sunny position.

Plant Height: 50-60cm

How To Grow

Sow vegetable seeds 25mm (1in) deep in dark damp soil - avoid watering for a day or two afterwards.

Sow 7-10cm (3-4in) apart, allowing 50cm (20in) between rows. Ensure the danger of frosts has passed and protect plants from wind. Plant in 3-5m (10-16ft) rows and remove weeds regularly.

Water well during dry periods and spray flowers with a fine rose on your watering can, this will help the pods to set.

Harvesting whilst young, will provide stringless beans.

When To Plant

Plant Butter Cherokee Wax Bean seeds in Spring and Summer. In warmer regions, sowing in Autumn is also ideal.

Important Note

Additional fertiliser is generally not required as legumes produce their own nitrogen. Plants make an excellent soil improver.
