Phaseolus Vulgaris 'Slenderwax'

 

Slenderwax Yellow Beans

here are two main types of French bean, climbing and dwarf. Climbing, as the name suggests, require support. The dwarf variety grow up to 0.7m. They tend to get some damage where they touch the ground, however some new varieties have been bred that produce pods on long upright stalks and are held clear of the soil and foliage. Difficult to germinate outside before the end of Spring. Get an early crop by starting them off in greenhouse. 'Slenderwax' is a bush variety with good disease resistance, and heavy crops of yellow, tender beans. 40-60 days to maturity T

Propagating by seed

From Mid Spring TO Late Spring

Sow French beans in divided trays in the greenhouse in mid Spring, in moist compost. Do not plant in open ground until after the danger of frost has passed.

 

Planting outdoors

From Early Summer TO Mid Summer

Plant out container grown plants in double rows 14in apart and 8in between plants after about 3 weeks, when plants are strong and have at least two true leaves
