Features

notes
A handy variety for early or late planting, the annual French dwarf bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) Stanley quickly produces masses of white flowers, followed by a heavy crop of tasty, straight beans, held up high for easy harvesting. The beans can be 14cm (5.5in) long although the plant itself is only about 45cm (1ft 6in) tall.
