Limas prefer long, warm summers. In areas where the climate is cooler, or the season shorter, Sieva (a.k.a. Carolina) might be the best bet for a pole variety. There is a Red Carolina too, both have a short DTM, and are highly productive.
If you start limas indoors in pots, more flexibility in the choice of varieties is possible. Germination is improved, and seedlings are more tolerant of cool and/or wet soil than the same seeds direct sown.
