How to grow edamame

When to plant edamame
Edamame is a warm-season vegetable soybean you direct sow once the soil is warm. University of Missouri Extension says to wait until the soil warms to at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit, usually late April to early May, and to plant successions every 7 to 14 days up to mid-July.
Edamame is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
