Notes
'Cherokee Wax' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Cherokee Wax') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It is a fast-growing climbing bean, so give it a trellis or poles to climb.
Pairs well with Orange Hat Tomato tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, Moss Curled parsley, and Nigra hollyhock.
