HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow Cherokee Wax yellow bean seeds in rich, well drained soil in full sun at least a week after the last expected frost, since beans are quite sensitive to cold. If you have never planted beans in your garden before, treat the seeds with a powder inoculant to allow the process of nitrogen fixation to begin. Plant them 1" deep and 3-6" apart, in rows about 2' apart; press down the earth above them for good soil contact. Cherokee Wax yellow bean seeds rot easily in wet soil, so do not over water them. Germination should take place 7-10 days after planting. For companion planting benefits, plant bush bean seeds near carrots, cucumbers, or corn; avoid planting them near onions.

Growing: After germination, maintain soil moisture; beans have shallow roots, and need water at least once a week if the weather is dry. Mulching the plants helps conserve moisture and discourages weeds.

Harvesting: Expect your first beans about ten weeks after germination. Daily harvesting improves production; for best flavor and tenderness, pick the beans when they are no larger than a pencil in thickness. Serve or preserve the same day you harvested them for the freshest taste.

Seed Saving: Near the end of the growing season, allow the beans to dry completely on the vine; the pods will be light brown, and the seeds will rattle inside. Remove the seeds from the pods. After the Cherokee Wax yellow bean seeds are completely dry, store them in a cool, dry place for up to a year.

Can't wait to plan them in my deck box. Ordering was very easy. My seeds came quickly and exactly what I ordered. Will buy from them again. Wax beans are hard to find in Northern Virginia lately, will try to grow my own. Price very reasonable.

Prolific & Delicious

Planted in central Florida in February and now in early April we're harvesting a ton of these delicious beans. We like the flavor better than green beans. We've been harvesting for 2 weeks and so far still producing.

DESCRIPTION

Cherokee Wax yellow bean seeds grow a robust bush bean that will produce high yields of yellow wax beans in about 55 days! Dependable even in adverse weather, and resistant to common bean mosaic. The tasty oval pods are filled with black seeds and grow up to 6 inches long.
The Cherokee Wax bean, first available to the public in 1947, comes from the research department of Clemson University in South Carolina. This bush bean seed comes from a strain that yields very vigorously and resists disease, and was distinguished with the AAS Award in 1948. "Wax" is a term originally from New England that has come to refer to any bean that grows yellow in color.
