Beans French

Beans French is a standout choice for gardeners who value flavour, ease, and continuous harvests. This dwarf variety is compact yet impressively productive, delivering slender green pods that are crisp, stringless, and perfect for cooking. Thanks to its bushy habit, there’s no need for staking or trellising, just plant, water, and enjoy. Its reliable performance makes it ideal for small plots, raised beds or even larger containers. Once the warm days of spring arrive, these beans kick into gear, offering a steady supply well into summer.

They also thrive in succession planting, so you can extend your harvest with a second sowing a few weeks later. Beyond their productivity, the pods have excellent texture and a mild, buttery flavour that suits many dishes. If you’re aiming to grow more of what you actually eat, French beans tick all the boxes : space-saving, prolific, and quick to prepare. From sowing to picking, they’re a joy to grow and a treat at the table.
