Plant Features

Blue Lake is a pole bean variety that produces tasty, stringless, 6-7 inch pods on 7 foot vines. They are great for canning, freezing and fresh eating. As with other pole beans, you will need a trellis or some type of support system as they climb. Beans are best when harvest young. For maximum yields, keep them picked throughout the season. Blue Lake plants have sparse foliage, making picking a breeze. It will become your favorite!

Our Blue Lake Pole Bean Plants are grown with a commitment to natural methods, ensuring they're healthy and robust. Guaranteed to arrive alive and thriving!

Planting Instructions:

  • - Transplant when soil temperatures reach 60°F

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water consistently, keeping soil moist but not waterlogged
  • - Avoid overhead watering to prevent disease

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Use a balanced fertilizer at planting
  • - Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers which promote leaf growth over pod production

Pruning and Training:

  • - For pole beans, train vines up supports
  • - No pruning necessary for bush beans

Pollination:

  • - Self-pollinating, but bees can increase yield

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Watch for bean beetles, aphids, and cutworms
  • - Use row covers early in the season

Harvesting Indicators:

  • - Harvest when pods are firm and crisp
  • - Pick regularly to encourage continued production
  • - * Beans should never be picked when the leaves are wet

Storage:

  • - Refrigerate unwashed beans in a plastic bag for up to a week

Companion Plants:

Beans

Growing up my trellis like crazy. Little flower buds. Can't wait to get beans soon

From Keelin | August 22, 2024


Doing well

Growing extremely fast

From Jared | June 19, 2023


Great products

I ordered plants from Gurney, Burpee, and several other plant growers and none were as good as those from Growjoy.

From ROBERT | May 16, 2023


Easy to Plant

I have never ordered plants from the internet before, but I was so excited to try this out. When it arrived, it came in a box with two other plants and after delivered, I was so happy to see that all of them were healthy! The growjoy has already started growing and am eager to watch it grow. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a simple way to start their outdoor garden.

From Joseph | September 05, 2022


Delicious Beans

This plant is very productive and grows delicious beans, but not all the beans are ready for harvest on the same day. I have two plants and they make enough beans for a dinner side dish every week. I recommend 4 plants for a bountiful crop.

From Maya | August 04, 2022


Thriving

The pole beans arrived looking amazing and took off the moment they hit the bed. It is climbing like crazy and has tons of flowers. Cannot wait for beans!

From Leslie | June 14, 2022


Very healthy Plants

All of the plants that I purchased though GrowJoy arrived very healthy! They are growing happily in our garden!! I highly recommend GrowJoy for your garden plants!

From Gail | June 09, 2022


Exceeded my expectations!!

These green beans are amazing!! They arrived in great condition and are already taller than the cages even though it's only been a few weeks since I planted them. I'm very excited to see how many beans I get this summer and I'm so happy to be able to save money by eating food I grew myself. Thank you GrowJoy for selling such high quality plants!

From Jessica | June 05, 2022


Pick Your Spot Wisely

Last year I thought I'd try beans. Didn't pay attention that they were pole beans. Repeating my order this year. Quickly realized the size ftpole was not enough. So I tried strong a string across the length of the garden only to then add a second string about half way up and train the plant to follow. This year the posts are moved to the northern edge of the garden.

From Steve | June 03, 2022


Pole Beans

This is the second year I ordered the pile bean plants. Last year they took over the one side of my garden. Once they find something to climb on or cling to they take off. We got hundreds of bean pods and were well supplied.

From John | May 15, 2022


Green beans

Beans are almost halfway up my trellis in 2 weeks. Dark green leaves and no pests. Cannot say enough good things about Growjoy and will always order from them in future.

From Karen | May 08, 2022


Great products

Healthy plants, fast shipping. Well packaged. Ready to grow

From Laura | April 28, 2022


Perfect Pole Beans!

I am new to beans and last year tried some from seed. I had a small crop, but not enough to feed the family for even a meal. This year, I tried pole beans and I am amazed by the beauty and productivity of these plants. I feel like the vine grows inches per day and the output of beans is remarkable. I even added a new plant a few weeks ago during the GrowJoy vegetable sale to see if I can extend the fun!

From Nancy | July 20, 2021


Lost :(

So happy to order this plant but it did not arrive healthy. The plant was snapped and bent and reported to GrowJoy and they said they would refund. I was looking to reorder but did not have enough inventory but thankful they said they would refund. Will try to order again.

From Mike | April 09, 2021


Wow!

I was skeptical to buy plants online, thinking they’d get beaten up during delivery. Not at all. Packaged safely. Prepare to eat beans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! They did not lie when it says they grow to 7’. Mine did. I had to buy bamboo stakes they were so tall and heavy! GrowJoy did not disappoint in the slightest!

From anonymous | January 23, 2021


Green beans

Arrived in superb condition. Growing like crazy, picking almost daily enough to put in quart size zip lock bag. Tasty too! Thank you so much will be back!!

From Linda | June 09, 2020


Frost survivors

Maryland was surprised with three nights of below 30° nights after Mother’s Day. Having already planted my garden I was sure I had a lost at all. It’s a testament to how healthy these bean plants were that they all survived. Looking forward to a big yield just like last year.

From Gina | May 15, 2020


Perfect plants

All plants arrived on time and in great condition. Can't wait to see them grow!

From Chris | May 07, 2020


Blue Lake Beans

Can't wait to plant, looking good so far

From Jeff | May 03, 2020


JUST SUPERB!

Adapted quickly in my raised bed garden. I applied a tomato cage over them and now they are crawling up the cage from all angles. I wish I could send a photo!

From anonymous | April 25, 2020


Great!

Plant arrived very quickly and in great shape.

From Erin | September 25, 2019


Blue Lake S-7 Pole Bean Plant

Plants come in their own little pots, complete with plastic bag for water conservation. Water them soon after you unpack the box and then transplant them. Don't leave them sitting in water. Bad for the roots

Prolific!

Impressive Size

Six to seven inches tall right out of the box and reaching for anything to grow on! They are now in my garden growing up a trellis. These beans will accommodate many dinners this summer and some will be frozen and enjoyed during the holidays this year.

From John | May 11, 2018

They arrived in excellent condition per usual. It is a pleasure to work with GrowJoy. These beans I had to put on a table near a window for about 3 days and during that time they managed. To climb the Venetian blinds. They are now happily climbing lattice.

From Chad | October 20, 2015


Awesome

I am a 1st time gardener in WI and was very happy to be able to order plants online. It gave me the time to research what I wanted and needed for my climate and area in my yard. All of my plants arrived in awesome condition and are thriving. Thank you for a great product.

From Natasha | May 25, 2015


Great Plants!

These bean plants worked out amazingly well for us last year because they grew so tall! We've had problems with rabbits eating all of the beans so these are a lifesaver. We haven't been able to find anything like this locally, so we'll be ordering them every year for sure. Plus the plant quality is excellent and they seem to take off right out of the box.

From Dale | May 10, 2015


Nice Blue Lake Bean plants

Plants arrived quickly and in excellent shape. I cannot comment on the product outcome at this time since I only planted them a few days ago. Hopefully the beans will exceed my expectations.

Blue Lake Green Beans

I ordered three Blue Lake Green Bean plants. They are already blooming little flowers. Can't wait to get the veggies

From Ora | October 23, 2014


Ble Lake Pole Bean

These Green beans came in 3 small pots, but were very healthy. The packaging was excellent! After 'hardening' the plants for a week, I planted them in a raised bed (sand & mushroom compost mix), at the base of a green bean tower. The plants quickly grew to completely cover the tower. I've already harvested about 1/2 bushel of green beans from just these three plants...and there's a lot more beans on the way!. These beans taste great and they are STRING-LESS!

From Keith | August 28, 2014
