Discover the proven wisdom of companion planting with the Three Sisters Seed Collection from Survival Garden Seeds. This traditional method pairs three complementary crops—corn, pole beans, and squash—that support one another throughout the growing season. Corn provides natural trellising for climbing beans, the beans help enrich the soil, and the squash spreads broad leaves that shade the ground to conserve moisture. For centuries, this system has offered a reliable, sustainable way to grow abundant food with minimal inputs.
The Three Sisters not only thrive when grown together, they also create a well-rounded, nutrient-dense harvest for your kitchen. Corn, beans, and squash together supply carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them ideal for fresh eating, preserving, and long-term storage.
What’s Included in the Three Sisters Seed Collection:
- Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean: A dependable heirloom known for heavy clusters of flavorful green beans. Pods are stringless when picked young and can reach 9–10 inches at full maturity. Excellent for fresh eating, canning, freezing, or drying as a shelling bean.
- Butternut Squash: A classic winter squash with tan skin and rich, orange flesh. A versatile ingredient used in soups, roasting, baking, and countless hearty recipes. Stores well for extended use through winter.
- Bantam Heirloom Sweet Corn: An open-pollinated favorite that produces two or more golden ears per stalk. Features tender kernels with an old-fashioned sweet flavor, perfect for fresh eating or preserving.

How to Grow:
Plant the Three Sisters together once the soil has warmed. Start by sowing the corn in small clusters or mounds. When corn seedlings are several inches tall, plant pole beans around the base so they can climb the growing stalks. Add squash seeds around the mound’s perimeter, allowing vines to spread and shade the soil. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil, provide consistent moisture early on, and allow each plant ample space to fulfill its role in the companion system.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.
