Growing Information

  • Light: Full sun

  • Soil: Fertile, loose, fluffy, and well-draining; avoid soggy soil

  • Soil pH: 6.0–7.0

  • Seed Depth: 1–1½ inches

  • Spacing: 4–6 inches

  • Row Spacing: 24–30 inches

  • Germination: Approximately 7–14 days

  • Germination Temperature: 70–85°F

  • Water: Keep soil evenly moist during germination and flowering

Direct sow seeds outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Lima beans need warm soil for successful germination, so avoid planting too early in cold, wet ground. Sow seeds 1–1½ inches deep in loose soil and provide adequate spacing for good airflow.

Plant Care & Harvest

Grow Jackson Wonder Lima Beans in a sunny location with fertile, well-draining soil. Water consistently during flowering and pod development, but avoid overwatering. Excessive nitrogen fertilizer can encourage leafy growth at the expense of pod production.

Harvest the pods when they are plump and the beans inside have filled out for fresh shelling. For dry beans, leave the pods on the plant until they turn brown and dry. Store fully dried beans in a cool, dry place.

Note: Lima beans are warm-season crops and are sensitive to frost. Plant only after the soil has warmed sufficiently for reliable germination and growth.
