Notes
'Choctaw Wax' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Choctaw Wax') 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 with rapid growth, so give it a trellis or pole to climb. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer.
Pairs well with Honey corn, German Pink Tomato tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
