It produces an early crop of stringless round green pods that have the most delicious flavour. The showy violet-purple flowers will stand out in your garden and you'll be surprised at how long your beans will keep coming. \n \nWe love them cooked and tossed in vinaigrette when still warm, adding raw onions and a touch of grain mustard. Approximate seed count: see packet size.
When to sow: May – June
Spacing: 65 x 40cm
Climbing French Beans Tips: Direct sow from May until the beginning of June, when the soil has warmed up. If sown when the soil is too cold and/or wet the beans may rot. We recommend building the climbing structure first (poles distanced 65cm between rows and 40cm within the row) and then planting four beans at the base of each pole 4cm deep. This way you will know exactly where the beans have been planted and also you will not damage the roots when building the structure.
