Phaseolus Vulgaris 'Cobra'

There are two main types of French bean, climbing and dwarf. Climbing, as the name suggests, require support. The dwarf variety grow up to 0.7m. They tend to get some damage where they touch the ground, however some new varieties have been bred that produce pods on long upright stalks and are held clear of the soil and foliage. Difficult to germinate outside before the end of Spring. Get an early crop by starting them off in greenhouse. French Bean 'Cobra' is a climbing variety with a good flavour, that will crop continuously over a long season. It produces heavy crops of smooth, round, stringless pods of about 7" long.
