Notes
'The Commodore' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'The Commodore') 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 is a fast-growing climbing bean, so give it a trellis or poles to twine up. It blooms in spring and summer.
Pairs well with Lemon cucumber, Black Cherry tomato, and Fernleaf dill.
