Vainica La Cima Seeds

Vainica La Cima seeds are an open-pollinated Costa Rican heirloom variety, rescued from the La Cima area and multiplied by local farmers. This is a very prolific bush bean that produces tender pods with excellent flavor. As it is open-pollinated, you can save seeds from one harvest for the next and make your garden more independent.

Benefits

• Heirloom variety adapted to the country's climate and performs well in rainy seasons.
• Bush type: generally does not require trellising or staking.
• Very productive in small spaces, ideal for raised beds and home gardens.
• Tender and juicy pods when harvested on time.
• Open-pollinated seed: you can reproduce it season after season.

How to Use

Direct sow about 2.5 cm deep, in warm, well-drained soil, leaving 10 to 15 cm between plants. Water consistently at the base of the plant and avoid wetting the foliage. Harvest the pods as soon as they reach a good size and snap cleanly: frequent harvesting keeps the plant producing.
