Suttons Bean (Climbing French) Seeds Cobra, Vegetable Seed, Approx. 70 Seeds per Pack, Grow Your own, Ideal for Beds and Borders

I sowed these Suttons Climbing French Bean seeds in April, and they grew beautifully. The plants were strong and healthy, and I was genuinely surprised by how many beans they produced, growing in full bunches! It was a really impressive harvest. I’ll definitely be buying these again next year. Highly recommend for any home grower.

Recommended this variety by my brother and they produced masses of beans last year for my whole family and many neighbours. I used to grow the dwarf beans but these climbers produce many more beans over a longer period - was harvesting all the way through to October.

Germination rate has been hit & miss so far. These seeds were sown in an unheated propagator & kept on an indoor window sill. Following germination, they grew rapidly, at which point they were planted out for the slugs/mice to feast on, but are growing well. Germination has been around 50%, but, they are French, so .....,.

I like early and late crops which this provides. Early beans stated in a propagator and grown on in large bags in polytunnel. Massive harvest from early June until mid July then it’s time for the outdoor crop! Never stringy. Start my autumn crop late July in tubs/bags for autumn crop. Bags dragged back into polytunnel to keep cropping when frosts start.

Over many years as a gardener, I have grown lots of different varieties of French bean, both climbing and dwarf varieties. I prefer the climbing varieties because of the greater yield from the same amount of garden space. Suttons ‘Cobra’ is simply the best variety I have ever grown, giving a good yield of high-quality beans with an excellent flavour. They grow well outdoors or under glass so with a greenhouse for spring and autumn use, they can have a long growing season.

It grows but no fruits yet

Planted them had some success due to the weather. Lovely taste.

Seeds look good.
