Kentucky Wonder Pole Heirloom Bean Seeds
Kentucky Wonder Pole Heirloom Bean Seeds bring a time-tested, flavor-rich classic to your garden. Also known as Old Homestead, this is one of the most popular pole bean varieties ever grown, famous for its distinctive, old-fashioned taste and satisfying, meaty texture. The long, 9–10 inch pods are nearly stringless when picked young and deliver exquisite quality whether you serve them fresh, steamed, sautéed, or in traditional country-style dishes.
Tall, vigorous vines reach 5–7 feet and are extremely productive, making Kentucky Wonder ideal for trellises, teepees, or fence lines. Beautiful white blooms give way to heavy sets of pods over an extended harvest window, so you can keep picking tender beans for weeks. This brown-seeded heirloom is remarkably versatile in the kitchen: enjoy it as a snap bean when young, as an excellent shell bean when more mature, or as a fine dried bean at season’s end.
For gardeners who want reliable yields, superb flavor, and a true heirloom classic that has earned its reputation over generations, Kentucky Wonder Pole Heirloom Bean Seeds are an easy choice. With the right support and full sun, these vines will reward you with bumper crops of richly flavored beans all season long.
