Notes
'Helda' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Helda') is a climbing 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 grows at a rapid pace and bears white and green flowers in spring and summer. Give the vines a trellis or poles to climb.
Pairs well with Honey corn, RuBee Dawn tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
