Seychelles Pole Beans: Elegant, Easy-to-Harvest AAS Winner
Discover the Seychelles Pole Bean, a vigorous climbing variety that transforms your garden with cascading vines of dark green pods. This All-America Selections (AAS) Winner matures in just 55 days, offering gardeners a quick path to harvest. The Seychelles variety stands out for its smooth, uniform pods that typically reach 5-6 inches in length, making them not only visually appealing but also incredibly easy to pick.
Seychelles Pole Beans are perfect for gardeners looking to maximize vertical space and add visual interest to their plots. The long, slender pods are ideal for fresh eating, canning, or freezing, offering versatility in the kitchen. Their dark green color and uniform shape make them particularly attractive at farmers’ markets or on the dinner plate. As a pole variety, these beans continue producing throughout the season, ensuring a bountiful harvest for weeks.
These beans thrive when given proper support, climbing vigorously up trellises, poles, or other structures. Plant them 12 inches apart to allow ample room for growth and air circulation. While the height is variable depending on the support provided, expect robust vines that can easily reach 6-8 feet or more. This vertical growth not only saves ground space but also makes harvesting a breeze, as the beans hang down within easy reach.
Growing Success Tips:
- Install sturdy trellises or supports before planting
- Ensure consistent moisture, especially during flowering and pod development
- Harvest regularly to encourage continued production
- Monitor for pests and diseases, addressing issues promptly
Seychelles Pole Beans offer an excellent return on investment for home gardeners and market growers alike. Their prolific nature, combined with their award-winning quality, makes them a standout choice for any bean enthusiast.
For best results, consider companion planting with herbs like dill or cilantro to attract beneficial insects.
