Climbing French Bean

Veitchs Climbing

Achieved an RHS first-class certificate on its introduction in 1885 and at one time (allegedly) the most widely grown climbing French bean in England. Probably synonymous with 'Tender & True' and 'Guernsey Runner', neither of which are now commercially available. A good cropper, covered in straight, long, delicious flat pods from top to bottom. Stringless when young, but makes a really attractive and tasty dried bean too. Seed colour purple.
