Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean Seeds, 30 Heirloom Seeds Per Packet, Non GMO Seeds

Phaseolus vulgaris "Kentucky Wonder"

Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are a popular variety of pole beans known for their delicious taste, high yield, and ease of growing. They are a type of green bean that can grow up to 9 inches long and have a tender, meaty texture with a slightly sweet flavor.

As the name suggests, Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans are grown on poles or trellises, as they are a climbing plant that can reach a height of up to 6 feet. This makes them an ideal choice for gardeners with limited space or those who want to maximize their yield per square foot.

Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans are a nutritious vegetable, high in fiber, protein, and vitamins A and C. They are also a good source of folate, potassium, and iron. They can be eaten raw, cooked, or canned for later use, making them a versatile addition to any meal.

🌱Planting Instructions

Approx seeds per order 30

Vine beans can grow up to 15 feet long and need trellises, stakes, or fences to grow on for support. Pole varieties produce more beans than bush types and are generally more disease-resistant. Pole beans grow over a period of time, providing fresh beans for several weeks. As they are picked, they produce more.

Plant bean seeds after all danger of frost has passed, and soil temperature is 48F minimum. Plants need 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. Plant seeds 1” deep in mounds with 3-4 seeds in each at the base of your trellis or support. Make sure the support is set-up before you plant the seeds so the roots aren't disturbed by doing it later. Arrange supports at least 6” apart.

Water deeply and regularly. Weed carefully as they have shallow roots. Make sure you will be around when they are ready as they will not stay well on the plants once they are mature. Beans always need to be picked straight away and will not wait until you are ready! If they are left to sit on the vine for more than 2 days, they will not taste great.
