Notes

Jacob's Cattle bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Jacob's Cattle Bush Bean') is a vegetable for the food garden, containers, and borders. 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. Bees and butterflies visit it, so it adds life to the garden as well as beans.

Pairs well with Cucumber, Creeping thyme, and May Night salvia.
