Frequently Asked Questions

Are these beans easy to grow for beginners?
Absolutely. Gold Crop is rated as an easy-to-grow variety. Bush beans require no staking, germinate quickly (about 8 days), and are ready to harvest in just 54 days — making them one of the most rewarding vegetables for first-time gardeners.

Yes. Gold Crop Yellow Wax Bean is a true heirloom variety and 100% non-GMO. You can save seeds from your harvest to replant in future seasons.

When should I plant yellow bean seeds?
Plant outdoors after the last frost date when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F (15°C). Yellow beans are frost-sensitive, so avoid planting too early. For most regions, this means late spring.

Can I grow Gold Crop beans in containers or raised beds?
