Description
Kentucky Wonder has been climbing American garden poles since the 1800s, producing long green pods with rich, old-fashioned bean flavor. The vines are vigorous and generous, setting slightly flattened pods that are best picked young and often for tenderness.
Give this heirloom a strong trellis and it will work upward all season, turning vertical space into baskets of beans. Use the pods fresh, canned, frozen, or simmered Southern-style. Kentucky Wonder is a classic for a reason: it grows tall, bears well, and tastes like summer.
