Organic Climbing French Bean Cobra is a superb choice for anyone who wants plenty of fresh beans from a relatively small growing space. The vigorous climbing plants produce masses of dark green, round, stringless pods around 18cm/7in long, with an outstanding tender texture and flavour. Its attractive violet flowers are followed by a long, continuous harvest, making Cobra equally at home in the kitchen garden or grown up supports in a large container. Pick regularly while the pods are young and succulent to keep the crop coming.
