Notes

'Carminat' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Carminat') is a climbing vegetable for container growing and 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 at a rapid pace and is ready to pick in 62 days. The flowers are purple and green.

Pairs well with Red Robin tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Nigra hollyhock.
