Plant in loose soil about 1 inch deep, 1-2 weeks after the last frost. Leave 4-6 inches between plants and 2-3 feet between rows. Water regularly but evenly, ensuring soil does not become waterlogged. Water as close to the root as possible to keep leaves dry. Support may be needed as bushy vines grow. Beans are ready to harvest in 50-60 days when the pods are smooth and firm. For the best flavor, pick young, tender beans in the morning when their sugar level is highest.

Easy to Pick! These delicious Gold Rush Wax Beans grow in golden clusters, on bushy green vines, so they're easy to spot, harvest and enjoy.

Compact & Bushy: Gold Rush Wax Beans are ideal for growers with limited green spaces, planters, containers, greenhouses, gardens, raised beds, or pots.

Wit & Wisdom: Beans are commonly used in everyday expressions to indicate something of little value. Something that “isn’t worth a hill of beans” is not worth much. Meanwhile, a “bean counter” is a person involved in corporate or government financial decisions and especially one reluctant to spend money. Read The Old Farmer's Almanac Bean Growing Guide!
