Kentucky Wonder Brown Pole Bean 1/2lb

(68 days) Open pollinated. 

“Of all the climbing kinds, we do not believe there is a better one than Kentucky Wonder: it is an old variety with solid meaty pods, 7–9" long…and when cooked no bean is better. It is enormously productive, the pods hanging in great clusters from top to bottom of the pole.” So said Stark Bros. in 1921. The splendid nutty flavor holds up even after freezing. As the beans mature, the pods flatten. Pick regularly to maintain quality and production, as they get tough once the beans enlarge. A favorite since the mid-1800s. Also known as Old Homestead, Kentucky Wonder was given its present name in 1877 by the eminent seedsman from Marblehead, Mass., James J.H. Gregory. Brown seeds.
