Propagation: The sensitive plant is most often grown from seeds. Pink flowers produce seeds. Sow the seeds in moist peat moss and perlite, and place clear plastic above the planting medium, as seeds need a lot of moisture to sprout. Expect the seeds to sprout in 14 to 21 days.
Protect edamame plants if such varmints frequent your garden. Edamame has a narrow harvest window of three to seven days, after which the plant is finished. Use succession planting at 7- to 14-day intervals for a longer harvest window. Set individual plants 12 to 18 inches apart; wider spacing leads to higher yields. On average, expect 2.5 pounds of pods per plant.
