Blue Lake Bean Pole (Phaseolus vulgaris)

The outstanding flavor combined with high yields make growing these vigorous 5 to 6 foot vines worth the time. This is when the seeds have just begun to form. Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. You don't have to look anywhere else... it's just the thing. Some say pole beans have better flavor than bush beans. The Bean Pole Snap Blue Lake, 'Phaseolus vulgaris', is an old favorite. If this is so, Blue Lake would support that suggestion. Blue Lake Pole beans have a beany, sweet flavor and they are fiberless and meaty. * $1.89
