This Product is Available Now.Despite the fact that French Beans are sometimes known as String Beans, Blue Lake is actually stringless!
These defy any summer drought and remain sugar-sweet and tender when cooked; eaten raw they make a tasty and crunchy addition to summer salads. But their versatility doesn't end there as they are perfect for freezing - and any left at the end of the season can be dried and the pure white beans use as haricot beans!
Grow against a trellis or bean rack or up netting - interplant with peas or runner beans.
An excellent variety to grow in cold greenhouse or polytunnel.
