Kentucky Wonder Bean (Pole) – 50 Seeds

Maximize your garden space and enjoy continuous harvests all summer long with our legendary Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean seeds! Known historically as the "Old Homestead" bean since the 1860s, this time-tested American heirloom is the gold standard for climbing green beans. Vigorous, fast-growing vines climb 6 to 8 feet tall, producing heavy clusters of meaty, tender, 7 to 9 inch slightly curved pods with an unmistakably rich, sweet, classic "beany" flavor. Stringless when picked young and slender, these versatile pods are ideal for fresh steaming, Southern-style simmering, canning, and freezing. By growing vertically on trellises, poles, or teepees, you can harvest armloads of delicious beans from even the smallest garden footprint.
