Attractive enough for the back of the ornamental border with its violet flowers, Cobra is a tip-top variety we thoroughly recommend. Really heavy cropping, you will pick masses of dark green, round, stringless beans about 18cm/7in long of outstanding texture and taste. Crops continuously over a long period of time. It is as easy to grow as runner beans. Perfect for container growing. Height 180cm/70in.
