Their bright color holds beautifully when lightly cooked, making them as visually appealing as they are delicious.  Excellent for preservation in canning, freezing and as a dry shelly bean!

Gardener Tips

Prefers not to be transplanted. Add compost to soil and mulch at base. Do not over plant, very prolific. Frost sensitive. 

Harvesting Tips

Golden Wax beans are best harvested young, when pods are smooth, slender, and a vibrant golden yellow. Pick when they are about 5–6 inches long, before the seeds inside begin to noticeably bulge. At this stage, pods are tender, crisp, and full of sweet, mild flavor.

Check plants every 1–2 days once they begin producing. Frequent harvesting encourages continued flowering and higher yields throughout the season.

For best quality

  • Harvest in the morning after the dew has dried.

  • Gently snap or clip pods from the plant to avoid damaging stems.

  • Store unwashed beans in the refrigerator for up to one week.
