Canavalia Gladiata , Sword Bean - 15 Seeds Pack

Common Names: Sword Bean, Scimitar Bean, Broad Sword Bean.

Short Description:
Canavalia gladiata, commonly known as Sword Bean, is a vigorous climbing legume prized for its long, flat pods and protein-rich seeds. Young pods are harvested as a vegetable, while mature seeds can be cooked after proper preparation. The fast-growing vines are highly productive and thrive on trellises, making them an excellent choice for home gardens and sustainable cultivation.

Germination Tips:

• Sowing Depth: 2.5–4 cm (1–1½ inches)
• Temperature: 22–30°C (72–86°F)
• Germination Time: 7–14 days
• Light: Full sun (6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily)
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter (pH 6.0–7.5)
• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, then water regularly without allowing the soil to become waterlogged.
• Tip: Soak seeds in warm water for 12–24 hours before sowing to encourage faster germination. Sow seeds directly in the garden and provide a sturdy trellis or support for vigorous vine growth and improved pod production.
