Golden Dragon King Hyacinth Bean is a high‑performance F1 hybrid lablab bean variety. These hyacinth bean seeds develop strong climbing vines and yield abundant extra‑long, broad, glossy bright‑green flat pods. Young pods maintain tender crisp texture and deliver pleasant flavor for stir‑frying and stewing. This hybrid features robust growth performance and good adaptability to warm‑season open‑field environments. Full‑sun growing spot promotes vine stretching and heavy pod production. Trellis or fence support is required for climbing growth, which improves air circulation and reduces disease risk. Observe and control common bean pests during the whole growing period. Keep soil evenly moist and avoid waterlogged conditions. Apply balanced fertilizer before flowering and potassium‑rich fertilizer during pod‑setting stage to obtain high‑quality plump pods.
Planting Instructions Soil Preparation Choose a full‑sun location with excellent drainage. Mix sufficient well‑rotted organic compost into loose fertile loamy soil. Stay away from low‑lying water‑logged plots.
Seed Pre‑treatment Select plump intact seeds. Soak seeds in warm water for 4‑6 hours before sowing to boost germination rate. Cold stratification is not necessary.
Sowing Method Sow after frost disappears and soil warms up. Put 2‑3 seeds in each hole, cover with 2‑3 cm fine soil. Plant spacing 40‑50 cm, row spacing 70‑80 cm. Keep 1‑2 vigorous seedlings per hole after thinning. Build trellis for vine climbing.
Germination Condition Optimal germination temperature:22‑30°C. Seedlings emerge within 6‑9 days. Keep soil moderately moist, avoid over‑watering.
Daily Maintenance Maintain stable soil moisture. Apply balanced fertilizer before blooming, switch to potassium‑rich fertilizer once pods start forming. Remove weeds timely. Prevent aphids and leaf‑eating pests. Harvest young tender pods before they turn thick and fibrous for best eating quality.
