Description

This heirloom bush bean has great flavor in its 7- to 9-inch long, stringless pods. These productive bushes have high yields of tender beans that can be used fresh, shelled, and dried. Great for growing if you like the look and yield of pole beans but would rather deal with easier-to-manage bush plants instead!

Bean – Kentucky Wonder – Phaseolus vulgaris

Soil and Water: Legumes like well-drained soil rich in organic matter and a moderate amount of nutrients. Water lightly at planting, medium at flowering, and heavily throughout harvest time. Avoid overhead watering which can promote disease.

Planting and Growing: Start indoors in short-season climates, or seed directly once soils have reached at least 65°F, preferably after the last frost.

Harvesting and Storage: Pick regularly to extend harvest period. When you have enough beans harvested you can let the remaining beans mature and dry them on the vine to use as shell beans. Fresh green beans freeze well.
