Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean

Be sure to check out our Beans Growing Guide for more tips & tricks on successfully growing beans.  Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean is an heirloom pole bean that grows prolific on a trellis. We recommend using a strong, sturdy trellis such as a fence panel to support the plant foliage. Unlike bush beans which will stop producing after several harvests, pole beans will grow from spring until the first frost in fall or winter. During the heat of summer, beans may stop production and drop blooms. But production will resume once temperatures begin to cool in early fall. Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean is an heirloom, open-pollinated variety that has long been the standard pole bean. It is a heavy-yielding variety that produces an average 150-200 lbs of fresh beans per 100' row. Plants produce straight, 9" pods that are stringless when young. Seeds are brown and pods are oval to round with a great texture and meaty flavor. This variety is great for fresh eating, canning and freezing. It also works
