Notes
'Red Tail' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Red Tail') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It is an organic snap bean that gives professional performance, and it climbs fast, so give it a trellis or poles.
Pairs well with Honey corn, RuBee Dawn tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
