How to Grow: Plant the seeds 1 inch wide and spaced every 6 inches for the seeds. Insert a strong trellis along the row of beans or a set of poles. Bury the posts deeply as these beans grow and need a robust system of support. Use creeper nets to provide additional support. Thoroughly water the winged bean plants and keep them well-watered but not saturated. To facilitate branching and spread, pinch off the plants’ tops when they are about 12 inches long.Grow best in hot, wet climates with 60-100 inches of rain.
