110 to 115 days, indeterminate — The lightly branched plants grow to two to three feet in height and have yellow flowers.  The seeds are large, yellow with tan eyes and are used for edamame (pronounced "ed-uh-mah-may").  According to USDA testing, they contain 38% protein and 20% oil.

Grande was developed at the University of Minnesota by B. Kennedy and J. Lambert as a stabilized cross between 'Anoka' and 'Magna' and introduced in 1976.  Each packet contains 25 to 30 seeds.

Planting Instructions: Soybeans are a tender plant and should be sown after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Planting them at about the same time as corn is a good rule.

Sow seeds about one inch deep, three to four inches apart. Although you can plant in rows, they can be planted densely and allowed to form a canopy. This will help control weed growth. Soybeans are tolerant of drought and poor soil since they fix nitrogen. They will, however, benefit from fertile soil.

Soybean flowers are perfect (self-fertile) and cross pollination is almost non-existent, making saving seed easy. Allow pods to fully develop and dry on the plants.
