Grow fresh, tasty beans at home with our Climbing French Bean Plants (Phaseolus vulgaris). These vigorous climbing vegetables are a great way to make the most of vertical space, producing generous crops of tender pods throughout the growing season.
Choose from Cobra, Blue Lake or Mixed. Both are popular climbing varieties, ideal for growing in vegetable gardens, allotments and raised beds.
Plant your French Bean plants in a warm, sunny and sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil. Provide canes, a trellis or another sturdy support for the climbing stems and keep plants well watered, particularly once flowers and beans begin to develop. Regular picking will encourage the plants to keep producing.
Productive, easy to grow and delicious picked fresh, Climbing French Beans are a rewarding addition to any home vegetable garden.

Watering Keep the soil consistently moist while the crop is establishing and growing, especially during flowering, fruiting or rapid leafy growth.

Choose an open position with good airflow and enough space for the crop to mature without excessive competition. Protect tender crops from late frost and cold winds, and use greenhouse or sheltered growing conditions where the variety requires extra warmth.
