Notes
'Tavera' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Tavera') is a vegetable for container growing and 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 fast, so give it a support to twine up. White and green flowers appear in spring and summer, and the beans mature in 54 days.
Pairs well with Abigail tomato, Unagi cucumber, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
