Notes

'Plentiful' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Plentiful') 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 poles to twine up. It blooms in spring and again in summer.

Pairs well with Butternut squash, Buffalosun F1 tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
