Notes
'Capitano' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Capitano') is a climbing vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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 at a rapid pace and reaches maturity in 52 days. Give it a trellis or stakes to climb.
Pairs well with Abigail tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Dark Green Italian parsley.
