Notes
'Wade' bean (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Wade') 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 climbing bean with rapid growth, so give it a trellis or poles to climb. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer.
Pairs well with Warba potato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Arugula.
