Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds provide gardeners with a time-tested heirloom known for high yields, rich flavor, and dependable performance. These vigorous climbing vines produce abundant clusters of long, smooth green pods that are stringless when picked young. Pods can reach 9–10 inches at full maturity and remain flavorful whether enjoyed fresh, canned, frozen, pickled, or dried as shelling beans. Easy to grow and adaptable to a wide range of climates, Kentucky Wonder is a top choice for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike.
Heavy Yields of Classic Green Beans:
Kentucky Wonder earned its reputation as the standard pole bean thanks to its productivity. Each vine climbs readily when given support such as a trellis, fence, or pole, producing numerous pods throughout the season. When harvested at 5 inches or smaller, the beans are tender and stringless, offering excellent texture for fresh eating.
Versatile for Fresh Use or Storage:
These beans shine in the kitchen with their full-bodied, old-fashioned flavor. Enjoy them fresh as snap beans, or preserve them through canning, freezing, or pickling for long-term storage. Mature pods can also be allowed to dry and used as shelling beans, adding culinary flexibility and pantry value.
Why Customers Love Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans:
- Classic heirloom with a long history of reliability
- Heavy yields of 7–10 inch pods throughout the season
- Tender and stringless when harvested young
- Excellent for fresh eating, canning, freezing, or shelling
- Easy to grow and ideal for trellises, fences, or pole teepees
How to Grow:
Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost once soil is warm. Provide sturdy vertical support such as a trellis or poles for vines to climb. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil and water consistently during flowering and pod formation. Harvest pods frequently at 5 inches for stringless snaps, or allow them to mature fully for shelling beans.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.
