Phaseolus Vulgaris – 50 Seeds.       

The Cobra bean is an incredibly popular french climbing bean. It has stunning purple flowers and produces lots of long, straight, stringless pods. It even looks stunning in an ornamental garden. It not only tastes fabulous but also crops over a long season so it is worth making space for this variety in your garden!

Sow the seeds in pots or large modules under cover in spring and plant out after the risk of frost has passed. Alternatively you can direct sow after the last frost. The plants will need supports to climb as they can grow to around 2m tall! Harvest when the pods are around 12cm long and pick regularly to encourage further production.
