Stringless French Bean - Blue Lake on wooden bench
A classic, high-yielding climbing French bean, prized for its smooth, tender pods and exceptional flavour. The straight, stringless beans are ideal for regular picking, encouraging continuous harvests throughout summer. Vigorous and reliable, it’s a must-grow for abundant, homegrown crops that far outshine shop-bought beans.
French beans are a good source of vitamins A&K, and folic acid.

    We make every effort to provide British seeds where possible, but in some cases our British Growers are unable to grow in sufficient quantities to meet our demand or the seeds are subject to Plant breeders' rights which means it is only possible for us to buy these seeds from certain non UK sources.
