Bean Dwarf - Phaseolus vulgaris

The Dwarf Bean, scientifically known as Phaseolus vulgaris, is a compact and versatile vegetable plant. It boasts delicate white to pale purple flowers that bloom in Djilba (late winter to early spring), soon followed by crisp, edible pods that are a favourite among gardeners and chefs alike. This short-statured bean plant serves as both a visual treat and a culinary delight, making it a dual-purpose addition to any garden space.

Whether you're growing Dwarf Beans in the ground, in pots, or in vege/herb gardens, they'll adapt readily. Staking or climbing support is necessary. For those planting in sandy soils, enriching the ground with organic compost will significantly enhance its productivity. These beans prefer full sun and consistent watering, with a slight reduction during Birak and Bunuru (summer). Fertilising in Djeran (autumn) with a balanced vegetable fertiliser will boost their growth and yield. There's no specific pruning required, ensuring straightforward care for gardeners of all levels.
