One of the oldest known wax beans, Golden Wax was first introduced sometime around 1871. Rich, golden yellow, stringless pods grow 4-5" long on bush-type plants. Pods are blemish-free with a big, buttery flavor. Golden Wax sets generous crops, and they are excellent for freezing and canning. Good for northern climates as well as the south.
