French Bean Dwarf Seeds Duo Pack - Marshalls Garden

Sow outdoors after the last frost has passed, typically from May to June. Ensure the soil has warmed sufficiently.

Yes, these dwarf varieties are excellent for container growing due to their compact habit. Ensure containers are at least 20-30cm (8-12 inches) deep with good drainage.

Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during flowering and pod development. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.

Harvest the beans when they are young, tender, and about 10-15cm (4-6 inches) long, before the seeds inside become fully developed and bulge noticeably.

A duo pack provides two distinct varieties, often with complementary traits like different growth habits or flavor profiles, maximizing your garden's yield and offering variety in your harvest.

While they are dwarf varieties, minimal support might be helpful in very windy areas or if the plants are heavily laden with pods, but they generally do not require the extensive trellising that pole beans do.

Ensure seeds were sown at the correct depth and that the soil is kept consistently moist and warm. Check for pest activity like slugs or birds.

This could be due to poor soil quality, lack of sunlight, or insufficient watering. Consider amending the soil with compost and ensuring the plants receive at least 6 hours of sun daily.

Ensure adequate pollination (bees are important) and consistent moisture. Extreme temperatures or nutrient deficiencies can also affect flowering and pod set.

Harvest beans regularly as soon as they reach a usable size. Allowing pods to mature fully on the plant will make them stringy and less palatable.
