Blue Lake pole beans are straight, stringless and unusually smooth, with a stronger flavour than the bush variety. Plants bear lots of dark green 15-18cm (6-7") pods that are round to oval, tender, and meaty. Blue Lake has a very long harvest window and will keep producing new pods as long as the vines are kept picked. Provide a pole or trellis for this tall vine to grow up. This variety is hugely popular for its productivity in the Prairies and other short season growing regions.
