The Kentucky Blue Pole Bean combines the best traits of its predecessors, Kentucky Wonder and Blue Lake, resulting in a vigorous and healthy climbing vine that produces an abundance of high-quality beans. With 7 in. long, round, and straight pods, this variety not only brings a delightful addition to any vegetable garden but also serves as a stunning green backdrop throughout the growing season.
Size: Mature plants typically reach heights of 6 to 8 ft. with 7 in. pods.
Yield: Sweeping harvests of crisp, tender beans throughout the season.
Taste: Mild and fresh, with a slightly sweet flavour, perfect for fresh eating or steaming.
How to use: Enjoy them fresh in salads, steamed as a side dish, or used in stir-fries.
Planting tips: Sow seeds 1 in. deep in well-drained soil once temperatures reach at least 18°C. Space seeds 4 to 6 in. apart in rows 30 in. apart, ideally in full sun for optimal growth.
