- Species and varieties: Red beans are a variety of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). They come in several varieties, including small red beans, adzuki beans, and kidney beans. Each variety has its own unique characteristics and uses in culinary applications.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Red bean seeds can be both hybrid and heirloom. Heirloom varieties are often prized for their rich flavor and historical significance, while hybrid varieties may offer improved disease resistance and higher yields.
- Pruning and training: Red beans generally do not require pruning. However, providing support for climbing varieties, such as kidney beans, can help improve air circulation and reduce the risk of disease. Bush varieties do not need support and are easier to manage.
- Fertilization needs: Red beans benefit from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting time. A 10-10-10 (N-P-K) fertilizer is commonly used. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to lush foliage at the expense of pod production. Side-dressing with compost or a balanced fertilizer during the growing season can help maintain soil fertility.
- Hardiness zones: Red beans are typically grown in USDA hardiness zones 3-11. They are warm-season crops and do not tolerate frost.
- Climate requirements: Red beans require a warm growing season with temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C). They need full sun and well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Consistent moisture is important, especially during flowering and pod development.
