D.T. Brown Dwarf Bean Snap Bean

Botanical Name: Phaseolus vulgaris

An excellent quality, fine flavoured dwarf bean that continues to crop over a long period. Dwarf Brown Beauty beans are particularly suited to later plantings as this is a good hot weather variety. Full of flavour and vitamins. Half-hardy annual.

Bush variety that does not require staking.

We hope you enjoy these bean seeds, just another great example of vegetable seeds from Mr Fothergill’s!

How To Grow
