WEST COAST SEEDS POLE BEANS KENTUCKY WONDER BROWN
Kentucky Wonder Brown is an heirloom developed in Kentucky before 1864. This is the brown-seeded strain of a very popular pole bean and is well-loved for its vigor and fine bean flavour.

Expect large clusters of round, curved, 18-25cm (7-10″) long silvery-green, fleshy pods. These are virtually stringless with a distinctive flavour.

The vines are particularly tall, so provide adequate support for climbing.

Kentucky Wonder Brown bean seeds sprout better in cool soils, so they can be planted a little earlier than other pole bean seeds.

These beans are well loved for fresh eating, but also because they freeze nicely for storage and winter use.

Matures in 70 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)

Starting Pole Bean Seeds

Seeds can be started indoors, or sowed directly.

Seeds will sprout in 8-16 days, depending on soil conditions.

Try to plant during a warm, dry spell. Soil must be warm – if it is not warm enough, seeds may rot, especially our untreated seeds. Optimal soil temperature: 21-32°C (70-90°F).

Pole Beans will climb by twining around almost anything. Try rough poles, or a strong trellis 2-2.5m (6-8ft) tall or netting for vining plants.

Companion Planting For Beans

Beans fix nitrogen in the soil. Plant with Brassicas, carrots, celery, chard, corn, cucumber, eggplant, peas, potatoes, radish, and strawberries.

Avoid planting near chives, garlic, leeks, and onions. Pole beans and beets stunt each other's growth.
