Description

Massive crops of mid green, smooth, round, stringless pods about 18cm (7in) long. A highly attractive mauve flowered variety, a delight in the border, and with an exceptional flavor. Huge yields of these flavorsome beans over a long cropping season.

Sowing Instructions

Sow mid April in pots indoors, plant out from end May. Sow early May - July (outdoors). Can be sown in March for protected growing in greenhouse/polytunnel. Sow 4-5cm (1½ to 2in) deep in a well prepared soil. It is best to erect supports before planting. Allow 2 plants per pole placed at 15-20cm (6 to 8in) apart as a structure or grow up netting or a 4 cane wigwam. Allow about 1 metre (3ft) between wigwams.

Growing Instructions

Water copiously during dry weather, particularly when flowers are forming, as roots must never be allowed to dry out. Mulch heavily with compost/grass cuttings. Pinch out once plants have reached the tops of supports. Pick regularly to ensure continuous cropping.

Caution

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