Bean — Cherokee Wax (Bush) seeds

$2.50

Cherokee Wax Beans are a dwarf bush bean variety that produces pale yellow, stringless bean pods. This bean variety does not require a trellis, but we do recommend a stake to support the beanstalk as it grows. Cherokee Wax Beans prefer well-draining soil and they will need a sunny spot in your garden to reach their full potential. Ensure you harvest your beans regularly throughout the growing season because this will encourage your plant to grow more! Cherokee Wax Beans are best eaten when young, as they are sweet and tender.
