French bean seeds for tender, stringless pods

French beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are the slim, tender, stringless beans that crop heavily over summer and freeze brilliantly. Grow quick dwarf bush types for no-fuss pickings, or tall climbing kinds for a big harvest from a small footprint. Pick them young and they just keep coming.

New to growing veg? Our guide covers sowing, supporting and picking beans.

How to grow French beans

French beans are tender, so sow after the last frost once the soil is warm, or start a few under cover for an early crop. Dwarf types need no support; climbers want a wigwam or canes. Like all beans, they fix nitrogen and leave the soil richer.

Dwarf or climbing?

For speed and small spaces, grow dwarf French beans; for a long, heavy crop, go vertical with climbing beans. French beans sit within our wider range of green beans, peas and beans and all vegetable seeds.

Ready to sow a row? Browse the wider pea-and-bean range or start with quick dwarf beans.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I sow French beans?
Sow after the last frost once the soil is warm, or start a few under cover and plant out once the weather settles.
Dwarf or climbing French beans?
Dwarf types are quick and need no support; climbing types crop over a longer season from less ground.
Do French beans need support?
Only the climbing kinds, which want a wigwam, canes or netting; dwarf bush types support themselves.
Can I freeze French beans?
Yes — they freeze beautifully, so a glut is easy to keep for winter.
Do you ship across the EU?
Yes, orders ship from Meppel in the Netherlands with fast EU delivery, and the final shipping cost is shown at checkout.
