Notes
'Cranberry' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Cranberry') 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 to moist soil of most types. It climbs, so give it a trellis or poles, and it grows at a rapid rate.
Pairs well with Popcorn shoot, Celeriac, and Crokini F1 tomato.
