A black seeded variety and a fairly new introduction.

We were delighted with the continuity of cropping performance and especially under glass in our 2007 trials. Often when beans are left and not picked they become thick seeded and inedible; our cropping for our own use got on top of us and this arose though unlike other varieties of climbing French beans they did not then fail but continued to crop from late May into September.

The plants constitution also seems to be strong and did not suffer from any pest problems either. An excellent flavoursome variety and highly recommended.

How To Grow Climbing French Beans

For Growing In Rows
Set out April - early July, 4" apart in rows 30" apart.
Provide support for these to climb up to a height of around 6 - 8 feet using netting, a bamboo cane structure or similar.

For Climbing French Bean Wigwams
Using a dustbin lid or similar as a template, drive into the ground six eight foot canes and tie together at the top to produce a wigwam effect.
Plant 1 or 2 plants at the foot of each cane.

Top Tips
Thrive in warm conditions and so are an ideal crop to grow under protection - greenhouse or polytunnel.
Whilst they will prove drought tolerant, good watering from flowering time onwards will ensure maximum pod development.
Mulch around the stems in early Summer

For something completely different and to maximise crop space try growing climbing french beans using the Three Sisters method.

I find your website useful and easy to us. I also enjoy your changing ads. in papers and mags. On Saturday at the Garden Organic AGM Professor Ian Lang, talking about Food Security urged us all to grow more fruit. He pointed out that in Britain we produce a mere 5% of the fruit we eat, and we should consume 9 a day not just 5 a day fruit and veg. Last November I planted your Polka raspberries. They are now strong tall vigorous canes, tallest I have ever grown and producing throughout the summer. I'll need steps to pick the late ones!! My first purchase from you was before the web, shrub roses for my allotment for the vit. C. Enjoyed your family history. Betty Dawes, Peak District, Derbyshire
