Description
An attractive Climbing Bean producing decorative mauve flowers which are followed by bumper crops of long, round, stringless mid green pods with superb flavour.
Early cropping, the pods are slow to develop seeds, and the plants give a long harvest period.
Can also be sown under glass for even earlier cropping.
Sowing Instructions
Sow seeds individually in 7.5cm (3in) pots at 18-20C (64-68F) from mid April for transplanting outdoors after all risk of frost.
Alternatively, sow outdoors from late April to late July after all risk of frost has passed.
Bean seeds can be sensitive to low soil temperatures, so delay sowing until the soil has warmed up.
Sow 15cm (6in) apart, 5cm (2in) deep and in rows 45cm (18in) apart, provide support for climbing habit.
Growing Instructions
Hoe regularly and keep well watered and mulched in dry periods.
Caution
Please note that beans must be cooked before eating to avoid discomfort.
