French beans, Phaseolus vulgaris, are delicious and easy to grow, and are a great choice for a small garden. Just a few plants will yield a decent crop of beans. There's a range of varieties to try, producing green, yellow and purple beans, making them suitable for growing in ornamental borders.

Phaseolus vulgaris 'Boby Bianco' is a dwarf French bean, producing tasty, stringless pods. As a dwarf variety, it's ideal for growing in pots and containers. Harvest the green pods when young, or leave them on the plant to mature, producing tender, creamy haricot beans.

Grow Phaseolus vulgaris 'Boby Bianco' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Don't plant them out until all risk of frost has passed. Protect young plants from slugs and snails.
