Improved Golden Wax Bush Bean
Growing Improved Golden Wax Bush Bean
‘Improved Golden Wax,’ also known as ‘Topnotch,’ is an early-producing wax bean valued for its bright yellow pods, tender texture, and rich, buttery flavor. Compact plants produce smooth, meaty, stringless pods with minimal spread, making them well suited to home gardens and smaller growing spaces.
Sow ‘Improved Golden Wax’ directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. The bush plants require no trellising and mature quickly, making them a good choice for gardeners who want an early bean harvest.
Harvest the pods while they are young, smooth, and tender for the best texture and flavor. Pick regularly as the beans mature to help maintain pod quality and encourage continued production.
‘Improved Golden Wax’ is especially well suited for fresh cooking, canning, and freezing. The variety also offers good rust resistance and produces white seeds marked with brown eyes.
