Notes

'Provider' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Provider') is a vegetable grown for the food garden and for containers. 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 with rapid growth, so give it a trellis or stakes to twine up. Beans are ready in 50 days.

Pairs well with Honey corn, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Crokini F1 tomato.
