About This Botanical
Blue Lake FM-1 Pole Beans are a legendary garden classic, producing an abundance of straight, bright green pods that have graced American kitchens for generations. Their crisp, tender pods are sweet and flavorful—perfect for fresh eating, canning, and freezing—while vigorous vines climb 8+ feet, making excellent use of vertical space. More prolific than bush types, this famous variety remains the gold standard of pole beans for good reason.
Growing Instructions: Direct sow 1–2 inches deep after last frost when soil reaches at least 60°F—beans do not transplant well. Provide sturdy support (stakes, trellis, or poles) before planting. Harvest pods when firm and before seeds bulge for the best flavor and to encourage continuous production throughout the season.
