Seychelles Pole Beans: Gourmet Green Beans for Vertical Gardens
Seychelles Pole Beans are a vigorous and prolific variety that brings gourmet quality to your garden. This All-America Selections (AAS) winner matures in just 55 days, producing beautiful, dark green pods that drape elegantly from their climbing vines. The smooth, uniform pods, averaging 5-6 inches in length, are not only visually appealing but also incredibly easy to harvest, making them a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike.
These beans offer a perfect blend of flavor, texture, and versatility in the kitchen. Their stringless nature ensures a tender bite, while the small seeds inside each pod contribute to a delightful, subtle crunch. Seychelles beans maintain their deep green color even after cooking, making them an attractive addition to any dish. Whether steamed, sautéed, or used fresh in salads, these beans deliver a sweet, fresh taste that elevates any meal.
Seychelles Pole Beans thrive in vertical gardens, requiring a trellis or support structure to reach their full potential. The vines can grow to impressive heights, making efficient use of garden space while creating a stunning visual display. As the plants climb, they produce an abundance of bean clusters, with each truss typically holding six pods. This continuous and prolific production ensures a bountiful harvest throughout the growing season, often lasting until the first frost.
Growing Success Tips:
- Train young vines to climb supports early for best results
- Harvest regularly to encourage continued production
- Provide full sun and well-draining, fertile soil
- Water consistently, especially during pod formation
Seychelles Pole Beans are an excellent choice for gardeners looking to maximize their yield in limited space. Their disease resistance, particularly to anthracnose and common bean mosaic virus, ensures a healthy crop with minimal maintenance. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a novice, these beans offer a rewarding growing experience and a delicious harvest.
For an extended harvest, consider succession planting every 2-3 weeks throughout the growing season.
