The name Sword Bean ( Canavalia Gladiata ) is actually due to the seed pod's resemblance to the blade of a sword. Botanically, it is known as Canavalia gladiata and originates from tropical Asia and Africa. The Sword Bean has a close relative, the Jack Bean, Canavalia ensiformis, which originates from South and Central America. Both species are easily confused with one another. The seeds germinate readily within 8-10 days. Give the plants plenty of room to grow. The beans are best grown under full sun but are tolerant of shade. Provide a good base of a balanced fertilizer before sowing of seeds and feed with a flowering and fruiting fertilizer only occasionally during growth. Overfeeding with nitrogen may depress the yield of pods. Most importantly, these plants are seldom bothered by pests and diseases.
