The best climbing French bean for the UK. Stringless, tender, heavy cropping. Freezes well.
Flavour
Sweet and tender with a fresh, grassy undertone, Blue Lake beans offer a clean, mild flavour that holds up well to smoky cooking.
In the kitchen
Ideal for grilling whole on the BBQ or tossing in a cast-iron pan over fire, these beans char beautifully while retaining a satisfying crunch.
Growing
Climbing habit requires sturdy supports; thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture. Heavy cropping and stringless pods make it a reliable, low-maintenance choice.
