Description
Some say pole beans have better flavor than bush beans. ‘Blue Lake FM-1K’ certainly would support that statement. Besides outstanding flavor, plants are high-yielding. Vigorous, 5′-8′ vines produce a bounty of 5″-7″, white-seeded beans that are excellent fresh and also canned or frozen. Disease resistant.
