Climbing French Bean
Box
This white-flowered pea bean will crop reliably and prolifically in the British climate. Seed Guardian Jane Few says, “The beans are tasty at whatever stage they are picked.” The stringless pods provide fresh, tender and delicious haricots when picked young, also perfect for shelling. As a dried bean they resemble pretty little bicoloured bird's eggs, ideal for winter storage and for use in soups and stews. Seed colour bicolour pale cream to buff/maroon.
