Uses

<p>Lima beans are cooked as a vegetable, used in curries, stews and salads, and can be shelled fresh or dried; as a nitrogen-fixing legume the plant also improves garden soil.</p>

Growing tips

<p>Direct-sow seeds 2-3 cm deep, spacing bush types 15-20 cm apart and pole types 25-30 cm with a sturdy trellis. Germination takes 7-14 days in warm 22-30°C soil. Avoid overwatering at sowing to prevent rot. Harvest tender pods in about 65-75 days for bush types and 85-95 days for pole types, picking regularly to encourage more pods.</p>

Frequently asked questions

When should I sow lima bean seeds in India?
Sow at the onset of the warm season, from February to March and again around June-July with the monsoon. Lima beans need warm soil and frost-free weather to germinate and pod well.
Do lima beans need support to grow?
Bush varieties are self-supporting and fine in pots, while pole (climbing) types need a trellis or netting 2-3 m tall. Choose bush types for compact balconies and pole types for higher yields.
