    Grow upward with pole bean seeds from David's Garden Seeds®. These climbing beans make good use of a sturdy trellis and can provide repeated harvests while growing conditions remain favorable.

    David usually grows pole beans in fall. His favorite is Fortex, followed by Purple Podded and Monte Gusto. Use these favorites as inspiration, then choose varieties and planting dates suited to your own garden.

    Make Room for Climbing Beans

    • Provide strong support: Install a trellis, poles or another suitable climbing structure before vines become established. Allow room to reach the pods for picking.
    • Plant in warm conditions: Direct sow after frost danger has passed and the soil has warmed. For a fall crop, allow enough time for the variety to mature before cold weather returns.
    • Harvest regularly: Pick pods while tender and before the beans inside become oversized. Healthy vines may continue producing until frost, but heat, drought and other stresses can shorten the harvest.

    Enjoy Your Harvest Fresh or Preserved

    Use freshly harvested beans in your favorite cooked dishes, or preserve surplus beans using tested freezing or pressure-canning instructions. If saving seed, let selected pods mature fully and dry thoroughly, and check whether the variety is open-pollinated before expecting saved seed to grow true to type.
