Q.Why Are My Kentucky Wonder Beans Not Forming Blossoms?

amybRN added on June 7, 2011 | Answered

I have gorgeous vines, lots of leaves and climbing up the trellis going on, but no blossoms! My Italian flat beans (planted at the same time) have a ton of blooms and tiny beans on them, but my Kentucky wonders are duds! What’s going on and how can I get them to produce?

They may have too much nitrogen. This will cause lush growth but few or even no blooms. Try adding bone meal to the soil. This will add phosphorous and help offset the nitrogen.
