Customer RatingReviews
Very impressed
By Veronica Emery 05-09-2011
These were so easy to grow, all came up and were vigorous climbers. So many beans which were tender and tasty. I've been giving them away and freezing them as well as eating them ourselves. They are still doing well although they have slowed down a bit but have never got tough or bumpy. Will definitely grow these again next year as our only French bean crop - they surpass all others we have tried.
Delicious (and prolific) beans!
By Elaine Did-dell 13-08-2011
I grew these for the first time last year. Due to difficult growing conditions I had a relatively poor crop but those that did grow had a wonderful flavour. This year I have an amazing crop, everyone who has eaten them says how lovely they are. Definitely one for next year!
Sowing Instructions
Sow mid April in pots indoors, plant out from end May. Sow early May - July (outdoors). Can be sown in March for protected growing in greenhouse/polytunnel. Sow 4-5cm (1½ to 2in) deep in a well prepared soil. It is best to erect supports before planting. Allow 2 plants per pole placed at 15-20cm (6 to 8in) apart as a structure or grow up netting or a 4 cane wigwam. Allow about 1 metre (3ft) between wigwams.
Growing Instructions
Water copiously during dry weather, particularly when flowers are forming, as roots must never be allowed to dry out. Mulch heavily with compost/grass cuttings. Pinch out once plants have reached the tops of supports. Pick regularly to ensure continuous cropping.
Nutritional Information
Climbing and Dwarf beans are a good source of Vitamin A and K.
