Notes
Kentucky Blue bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Kentucky Blue (pole)') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It climbs and grows at a rapid rate, so give it a trellis or pole to twine up. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer.
Pairs well with Honey corn, Pink Delicious tomato, and Parsley.
