Why Choose Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean?

• Heirloom Seed: Passed down through generations for at least 75 years for reliable harvests.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA structure has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.
• Easy to Grow: Minimal special care, simple conditions, and little risk of failure to germinate and thrive. These seeds are forgiving of small mistakes and can produce results with just basic gardening tools and common sense.
• Container Friendly: Can be grown in large containers with a sturdy trellis or support, making them a great option for patios and small-space gardens.

Planting Tips for Success

• Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1 inch deep directly in the garden after the last frost date when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F.
• Spacing: Plant seeds 4-6 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart.
• Sun: Full sun — at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Watering: Water consistently, about 1 inch per week. Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk.
• Support: Provide a trellis, fence, or sturdy pole at least 6-8 feet tall. Kentucky Wonder vines climb vigorously and produce best with solid support.
• Fertilizing: Beans fix their own nitrogen — avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers. A balanced starter fertilizer at planting is sufficient.
• Harvest: Pick pods at 7-9 inches when still firm and tender. Frequent harvesting encourages continuous production through fall frost.
