Sow from April, one seed to its own pot or module (ideally Rootrainers), under cover. Once the plants are at least 5cm (2in) tall, plant them out. You can also sow direct into the garden May-July, not before, as they will be killed by the frost.

Description

I grow this as much for the unusual and beautiful soft pink coral flowers which look fantastic in any vase.

The flowers are edible too – and taste deliciously beany for adding to rice and leaf salads – and then of course there's the tasty, tender beans. This is tipped for the top.

Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.

Care Tips

Will grow best in a sunny position with fertile, well-dug soil that has had plenty of organic matter added. Support with a cane wigwam, with one plant growing up each cane. Protect seedlings from slugs.
