Dwarf French beans – Borlotti (Organic)

£2.95

Dwarf French bean with cream and pink dappled beans in pods that can be eaten fresh or dried.

This is a very versatile and strikingly beautiful bean. The immature pods can be eaten whole as green beans. When the pods change colour from green to cream and pink you can also shell and eat the beans inside. Or you leave them to mature fully and eat them then or dry and store.

Dwarf beans are good for growing in containers. They will generally grow about 45cm tall and crop slightly earlier than their climbing cousins.
(Approximate seed count – 60)
