Notes
'Tobago' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Tobago') is a climbing vegetable for the food garden. 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. This refined filet bean grows fast, so give the vines a trellis or other support. White and green flowers open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer.
Pairs well with Carolina Gold tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, Siberian kale, and Nigra hollyhock.
