Soybean Seeds - Black

Black soybean seeds produce warm-season annual plants with an upright, bush-type growth habit. Plants are well suited for garden beds, raised beds, and field planting and perform best in warm climates with a full growing season. Soybeans require full sun and well-drained soil to establish properly and develop evenly. Black soybeans are adaptable to a range of temperate growing conditions when provided consistent moisture and moderate soil fertility, making them suitable for home and small-scale cultivation.
