Product Information

A heritage variety and still one of the best Longpods for flavour. Pods are produced in abundance containing 7 to 8 plump white beans per pod ready to harvest in June. One of the best for freezing, as seeds do not discolour. Height to 120cm (4ft).

Sowing Instructions

Sow Sow seed February under cloches, March to April outdoors. Ideally sow in double rows, 5cm (2in) deep and 20-23cm (8-9in) apart in the row, with 20-23 icm (8-9in) between each row. Allow at least 60cm (24in) between each double row. Germination takes about 10 days.

Growing Instructions

Support the plants as they grow by placing a cane or stout stick at each corner and tying in with string, especially in windy gardens. Pinch out growing tips once first pods have set to deter blackfly. Keep well watered particularly when flowers are setting.


Crop

June to July

Serving Suggestion

Steamed tender young beans in a creamy parsley sauce.
