Fothergill's Climbing Bean Cobra Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Phaseolus vulgaris, an advanced and high-performing selection within the Climbing Bean genus.
• Pencil-Pod Profile: Produces beautifully uniform, long, and round straight pods that stay tender and snap cleanly without any stringiness.
• Early Cropping: Bred to set its flowers and pods remarkably early in the season, effectively extending your fresh summer harvest window.
• Ornamental Appeal: Features a profusion of beautiful, vivid purple flowers that look stunning twisting up supports, making it ideal for decorative kitchen gardens or mixed edible borders.
• High-Yielding Vertical Growth: A strong, vigorous climber that maximizes garden space by bearing heavy crops up poles, wigwams, or netting frameworks.
• Superb Culinary Value: Offers a sweet, delicate flavor and smooth texture that is perfect for light steaming, stir-frying, or freezing for a nutritious winter supply.

Care Instructions:

• Sowing Position: Sow seeds directly outdoors 5cm deep once the soil has warmed and all danger of frost has passed. Alternatively, start early in pots indoors. Plant in a bright, open position in full sun.
• Soil Preparation: Position into deeply dug, well-drained soil that has been enriched with plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost to help retain moisture.
• Support & Harvesting: Ensure support structures up to 1.8m (6ft) are in place at planting. Water generously when the purple flowers appear, and pick the pods regularly to encourage a continuous supply right up until the autumn frosts.
