Notes
'Medal Refugee' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Medal Refugee') is a climbing vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows at a rapid rate, so give it a trellis or poles to climb.
Pairs well with Winter squash, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Borage.
