Notes
'Northeaster' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Northeaster') 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 moisture. It climbs and grows at a rapid rate, so give it a trellis or other support. White and green flowers appear in spring and again in summer.
Pairs well with Sakura tomato, Saladmore Bush F1 cucumber, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
