Climbing French Bean 'Marvel of Venice'

Crisp, sunshine yellow beans with a bright, buttery flavour. One of the best tasting French beans we've grown. We offer the white seeded strain of this variety which we think is more tender than the black seeded type. The pods are wide and flattened and tend to curve if grown outside. An easy-to-harvest variety on account of the brightly coloured beans. 

Our original seed for this variety was gifted to us by incredible heirloom bean seed producer Pippa Rosen from Beans & Herbs.

• Sow: April undercover, May-June outside
• Plant: 30cm apart
• Harvest: July-September, pick regularly.
• Kitchen: Cook lightly and pair with savoury (parmesan, bacon), aromatic (tarragon, ginger), acid (white wine, lemon), fats (olive oil, almonds).
• Notes: This is a climbing French bean and will easily grow to 6ft so stake accordingly.
