Product Details
Unwins Climbing French Bean Hunter Seeds produce tasty flat and stringless pods. The flowers set readily to give a lovely heavy crop of delicious pods.
Hunter is high yielding and does best in a warm spot, sheltered from winds.
Harvest: July to September
Sow Indoors
Sow individually in clean pots or modules of compost, 5 cm deep. Water well. Keep on a warm windowsill or in a propagator, maintaining a minimum temperature of 12°C.
Growing On / Planting Out
Slowly acclimatise to outdoor conditions before planting out in May to June when the risk of frost has passed, 15 to 20 cm apart in full sun, in soil with added organic matter. Climbing beans require support with a double row of canes, 1.8 m tall with 45 cm between rows. Keep soil moist at all times.
Sowing Outdoors
Sow direct into the required harvest location, 5 cm deep, 15 to 20 cm apart. Support with canes, as with planting out indoor-sown beans. If planting in containers, choose one at least 75 cm in diameter, such as a half-barrel.
Advice
Put supporting canes in place before planting out or direct sowing. Pick regularly once the beans are about 10 cm long and snap easily. Climbing beans harvest over a longer period than dwarf beans.
