Description
- This versatile heirloom bean plant gives you fresh green beans which can also be left to mature and produce dark red kidney beans
- Perfect for small spaces, this dwarf variety needs no support
- Grow in sunny raised beds, patio pots and borders
- For French beans, pick the whole pod when they’re about 10-15cm long and before you can see the beans inside. For kidney beans, allow the pods to turn yellow, then shell the beans and leave overnight – they’ll turn from pink to that characteristic deep red
- Plant out after the last frosts and harvest from June to September
- Premium bean plants grown on a family run farm in Lancashire and sent to you at the best possible time for planting
- Growing your own gives you healthy, fresh produce with a lower carbon plantprint than anything you can buy from a shop – these beans are rich in folic acid plus vitamins A and K
- Easy to grow and care for – you should see your first crop within 10-12 weeks
