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.
