Notes

'Topcrop' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Topcrop') 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 climbs and grows at a rapid pace, so give it a trellis or poles to twine up.

Pairs well with Honey corn, Parsley, and Pink Delicious tomato.
