bean - kentucky wonder
Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans are a classic heirloom variety known for their long, tender pods and rich, hearty flavor. These beans thrive when grown on vertical supports, making them perfect for maximizing garden space. The beans can be harvested young for a more delicate texture or left to mature for a fuller, more robust taste. Best grown in well-drained soil with full sun, they require a sturdy trellis or pole for support. Plant in early spring for a mid-to-late summer harvest, and stagger plantings for a continuous supply of beans throughout the season. Each packet contains 50-60 seeds.
