"Golden Wax" yellow wax beans are a prolific bush bean variety that is nearly identical to green beans in all aspects except for color. Green beans get their color from chlorophyll, and yellow wax beans are simply green beans that have been bred to have none of this pigment. This low-maintenance, bean beetle resistant variety easily grows a heavily concentrated set of 5-7 inch long, stringless, round beans.

Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 8-10 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.Planting:
In the Spring, plant beans after all danger of frost has passed. In the Fall, plant beans 10 to 12 weeks before the first expected frost. For large plots, use ¼ to ½ pound of seed for each 100 feet of row of green beans. Plant bush beans 1 inch deep and 1 to 2 inches apart in the rows that are 2½ to 3 feet apart. Planting in moist soil is best for seeds to germinate and emerge quickly. After the beans have sprouted, thin the plants to 3-4 inches apart.
