Description
You cant lose with this 1800s heirloom. Kentucky Wonder (brown seeded) has wonderful, if not unsurpassed, flavor. It out-produces most other pole beans with heavy crops of 9 long, gently curved, somewhat flat pods. A multi-use bean – drying, shelling, and green. Stringless when young. Excellent for freezing. Good production even in hot climates. Resistant to common bean mosaic virus. This packet sows up to 20 feet or two 4-foot diameter teepees. See inside for instructions on how to build a bean teepee.
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED.
1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 65F, ideally 70-85F.
Successive Sowings: Every 7 to 14 days up to 80 days before your average first fall frost date.
NOTE: In very hot summer areas, skip sowing as high heat approaches; temperatures consistently above 90F will prevent beans from forming.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
