- Planting depth: 1 to 1.5 inches
- Plant spacing: 12 to 18 inches
- Height at maturity: 5-8 feet (with support)
- Ideal temperature: 60°F to 75°F

Growing Tips
Golden Sunshine runner beans perform best in cooler summers and fertile, well-drained soil. Provide sturdy vertical support, such as trellises or poles. Regular watering, especially during flowering, is key to preventing blossom drop and boosting pod set.
When to Grow
Plant Golden Sunshine beans outdoors once all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures are consistently above 55°F. In mild climates, succession planting every few weeks extends harvest. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds 1 to 1.5 inches deep, spacing them 12 to 18 inches apart along a trellis or support system. Water thoroughly after planting, and keep soil moist but not soggy during germination.
How to Grow
Runner beans benefit from consistent watering and regular harvesting. Pinch growing tips when plants reach the top of their support to encourage lateral branching and more flowering. Mulching helps conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature.
How to Save
- Leave pods on the vine to mature and dry fully
- Harvest when pods are leathery and brown
- Shell seeds and discard any with mold or damage
- Allow seeds to air dry completely
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry location
