The gold standard for home gardeners, this famous heirloom variety is celebrated for its heavy yields and "true bean" flavor. Unlike bush varieties, these vigorous 8-foot vines produce an abundance of pods over a longer season, ensuring a steady harvest for your kitchen.
Seed & Planting Care
Pole beans are vigorous climbers that need a bit of support and warm soil to reach their full potential.
Sowing Method: Direct sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil is warm.
Support Required: These vines grow over 8’ tall. Install a trellis, teepee, or cattle panel at the time of planting to avoid disturbing roots later.
Seed Characteristic: This variety features white seeds, known for producing clean, bright green pods.
Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1" deep in well-drained soil.
Growing & Harvest Profile
Growth Habit: Tall, climbing vine (Pole type).
Pod Quality: Dark green, stringless pods reaching 5–6” in length.
Productivity: Known to be significantly more prolific than most bush-type beans.
Harvest Tip: For the best texture and flavor, pick pods early and often. Frequent harvesting encourages the vine to continue producing new pods throughout the season.
Why Choose This Variety?
Exceptional Flavor: Widely considered the "standard for excellence" in string bean taste.
Space Efficient: By growing vertically, you get a much higher yield per square foot compared to garden beds filled with bush beans.
