Seed to Plate

French Bean Cobra

In contrast with Cantare (the other french bean variety we sell) Cobra is a climbing variety, which means you'll need a row or teepee of bamboo canes to support the plants. Whilst the canes a bit of a faff to erect, the benefit of growing Cobra is a higher bean yield because they're bigger plants, and a longer production period. Beans will mature at the bottom of the plant first, and gradually mature further up over the following few weeks. They're also easier to pick. Therein lies the trade off! Choose the one that suits you.
