Notes
'Bamako' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Bamako') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It is a climbing bean that grows at a rapid pace, so give it a trellis. It bears bright yellow filet beans.
Pairs well with Honey corn, Red Torch tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
