Golden Wax—sometimes called ‘Goldilocks’—has been on American tables since the 1800s, prized for luminous yellow pods that stay tender past full size. Bush plants are tidy and early, making succession sowing easy. Wax beans bring the same protein and fiber punch as green beans, but their color stands out in jars and skillets alike. Direct sow after frost in warm soil and harvest often to keep plants producing. This is the wax bean your grandmother likely grew for reliability, flavor, and that cheerful glow in the basket.

Start seed outdoors after danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Inoculating seed with nitrogen-fixing bacteria may improve yields where beans have not been grown before. Optimum soil temperature for germination is 65–75°F. Wait until air and soil have warmed in spring, as seeds planted in cold soil may germinate slowly or rot. Bush beans produce their crop over a shorter period than pole beans, making them a good choice for succession sowing. For a steady harvest, make additional plantings every 2–3 weeks through midsummer.
