Notes
'Navy' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Navy') is a 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 to moist soil of most types. It climbs, so give it a trellis or poles for support. The vines grow fast and reach about 12 to 36 inches.
Pairs well with Popcorn shoot, Celeriac, and Long Island Mammoth dill.
