Description

A premier variety in every way. The pure white flowers are less prone to being picked by birds, so the resulting crop is much greater. Plus, this variety sets better than any other when it comes to high temperatures. Flowers require pollination to set pods, unlike pole or snap beans. The long, mid green pods with white seeds hang in numerous clusters, and are both smooth and stringless. The result is a delicious vegetable which can be sliced or eaten whole with a garnish of butter.

Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:After last frost so that pods will mature in the cooler weather of late summer to early fall

Prefers to be grown in fertile, moist yet well drained soil which has had plenty of well rotted compost dug into it the previous autumn. For an early start in short season areas, sow from mid spring in artificial heat (propagator, greenhouse, warm room) in peat pots and plant out after last expected frost. Outdoors do not sow until at least 10 days after last frost, 5cm (2in) deep. Sow 2 seeds every 30cm (12in) in rows 38cm (15in) apart.

Growing Instructions

Remove weaker seedlings after germination. Make sure your soil is warm and avoid it becoming baked hard. Water regularly and liquid feed every 14 days during mid summer.

Aftercare Instructions

A thick mulch will help conserve moisture. Pick the beans regularly a little on the young side to ensure top quality and prolonged cropping.

Caution

Please note that beans must be cooked before eating to avoid discomfort.
