Notes
Decatur bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Decatur (pole)') 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 climbs fast, so give it a trellis or pole to grow on. Flowers appear in early to late summer.
Pairs well with Gold Medal Tomato tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Dark Green Italian parsley.
