Notes
'Blauhilde' pole bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Blauhilde') is a climbing vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows fast and can reach 6 to 9 feet tall, so give it a tall trellis or pole. Rose-purple flowers open in summer.
Pairs well with Sunset Torch F1 tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, Dark Green Italian parsley, and Hollyhock.
