Vegetable Description: Missouri Wonder is a hard-to-find, heavy producing heirloom pole bean with good flavor! A very hardy variety that withstands harsh conditions and stress better than other pole varieties! Pods are thick, slightly curved, and stringless when young. In the old days, this variety was planted in cornfields and grew up the cornstalks for support! This allowed farmers to maximize ground space, and the beans supplied the corn with nitrogen!
