Heirloom Blue Lake Pole Bean Seeds

Heirloom Blue Lake Pole Bean Seeds grow heavy yields in a small footprint, setting straight, smooth 6-inch pods from the base to the top of vines that reach 8 feet. The pods are crisp and stringless when young, never limp, and cook up tender with full-bodied Blue Lake flavor. Like all pole beans, they need a trellis or support.
