French Beans

French Beans

French beans are a wonderful addition to many meals and we aim to have them available for several months in summer. In early summer, we grow two varieties of French dwarf beans: Cupidon and Purple Teepee. Cupidon is a green bean and Purple Teepee (as you’ve probably guessed!) is a purple bean. From mid to late summer, we grow French climbing beans: Lady Di (green) and Blauhilde (purple).
