Notes
'Derby' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Derby') is a vegetable for containers and food gardens. 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. This bush bean grows at a rapid pace and is ready to pick in 55 days. It is open-pollinated and resists Common Bean Mosaic Virus.
Pairs well with Honey corn, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Teddy dill.
