Bean Pole Seychelles (Green) is an All America Selections award-winning pole bean that combines exceptional productivity with superior eating quality and disease resistance. The vigorous 7-9 foot vines produce abundant trusses of uniform, stringless pods measuring 5-7 inches — long enough to harvest at the tender-snap stage yet substantial enough for mature shell beans if left on the vine. The pods are a rich dark green that holds its color through cooking, with crisp, tender flesh and a mild, refined bean flavor. This variety demonstrates proven resistance to Bean Common Mosaic Virus (BCMV) and anthracnose, reducing disease pressure in humid climates and lowering management inputs. Harvest in about 60 days.

Germination Rate: 97%. Test Date: 12/24. JSS.

Texas Minimum Germination Rate: 70%.

Why Choose Seychelles Pole Bean?

• All America Selections Winner: Recognized by the premier independent trialing organization in North America for outstanding performance in home gardens.
• 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.
• Disease Resistant: Proven resistance to Bean Common Mosaic Virus (BCMV) and anthracnose for lower-input, more reliable harvests.
• 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.

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 8-9 feet tall. Seychelles vines are vigorous climbers that reward solid support with maximum yield.
• Fertilizing: Beans fix their own nitrogen — avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers. A balanced starter fertilizer at planting is sufficient.
• Harvest: Pick pods at 5-7 inches when still firm and tender. Frequent harvesting encourages continuous production through fall frost.
