An early variety, Climbing Bean Helda produces good yields throughout the summer. Pods grow up to 25cm in length and 21mm width. Can be grown in the greenhouse for earlier crops. Sowing instructions: Sow seeds May to July outdoors, directly into rich, well prepared soil in a sunny spot. Provide support for climbing habit, either a row or wigwam of 180cm canes or netting. Sow 2 seeds against each cane, 4cm deep. Growing instructions: Keep watered, particularly once flowering commences, adding a mulch during hottest, dry periods. Aftercare: Pick pods regularly whilst young for heaviest yields and to extend the season. Go to table of bean varieties
