Product Details
A 2017 All-America Selections winner, 'Seychelles' (pronounced "say-shells") 7'–9' long vines produce trusses (clusters) of delicious, 4"–6" long, dark green, tender pods that out-perform many standard varieties. Expect earlier and more abundant harvests from this excellent-quality, mostly straight pole bean, which continues to produce until frost. Seeds are slow to develop, and the pods' deep green color remains when cooked. Disease resistant to anthracnose and common bean mosaic virus.

Sowing Info
When to Sow Outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 65°F, ideally 70°–85ˌF. Successive Sowings: Every 7 to 14 days up to 80 days before your average first fall frost date. NOTE: In very hot summer areas, skip sowing as high heat approaches; temperatures consistently above 90°F will prevent beans from forming.
When to Start Inside: Not recommended; bean seedlings are sensitive to root disturbance.
Days to Emerge: 6–12 Days

Thinning: Not required
Growing Info
Harvesting: Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when seeds have just begun to form and the pods are several inches long (depending on the variety). Hold stem with one hand and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches, which will continue to produce. Harvesting early and often will stimulate flower production for more beans. At season's end, plants are great compost material if they are disease-free.

I planted these beans a little late for my zone 9 in Gainesville FL. Temperatures in our garden went down to 32 degrees. We had covered the whole trellis and used clothes pens to attach to the wire. They made it and I harvest my First bunch today.

- KSRated 5 out of 5 starsAug 19, 2025Beautiful beans
Beautiful, straight, round, tender, dark green beans. Very uniform in size and fit nicely sideways in quart bags for the freezer. Taste is good but not special, like a store green bean. These are the ones you want if you're selling them.
