Spacing: Space the seeds about 6-8 inches apart in rows that are 3-4 feet apart to allow ample space for the vines to grow.

Growing and Maintenance

Support Structures: As climbing plants, purple winged beans require support. Install trellises, poles, or fences for the vines to climb, which will help maximize space and improve air circulation.

Fertilization: Although winged beans are good at fixing nitrogen in the soil, adding compost or organic fertilizer at the planting stage can promote healthy growth. Supplement with a balanced fertilizer if needed during the growing season.

Pruning: Regularly prune the plants to encourage bushier growth and improve air circulation. Remove any dead or diseased leaves and stems.
