An award-winning purple-podded variety producing long, straight, stringless, French beans up to 15cm (6in) long 8 weeks after sowing. Since the pods are held high above the main foliage they're easier to harvest and less prone to damage from soil-borne pests and disease. An attractive and tasty crop for a sheltered, sunny site. - Growing Instructions: Sow seeds indoors from April individually in 9cm (4½in) pots of moist but not wet seed compost. Place pots in a heated propagator, greenhouse or warm room until germination has taken place. Plant out after all risk of frost has passed. Sow outdoors after all risk of frost has passed 5cm (2in) deep. Sow 2 seeds every 23cm (9in) in rows 60cm (24in) apart
- Sow: April-June
