Description

A timeless heirloom snap bean, Topnotch Yellow (also known as Improved Golden Wax) is prized for its smooth, buttery flavor and dependable yields. Compact, self-supporting plants reach 18–20 inches tall and produce clusters of bright yellow pods about 5 inches long that are entirely stringless and tender at any stage.

The pods are plump and juicy with a rich, sweet flavor that stands out when steamed, sautéed, or pickled. Their color holds beautifully in cooking, and their crisp texture makes them a favorite for both fresh eating and canning.

Dating back to the early 20th century, Topnotch Yellow has remained a staple of home gardens for generations thanks to its early maturity, uniform harvests, and old-fashioned taste. It’s a proven performer that delivers bright color, tenderness, and reliability season after season.
