Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20 degree C (60-68 degree F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 25 cm (10-inch) apart, during May-June when frosts are over. Allow 45 cm (18-inch) between rows. Or sow outdoors May-July for ease, where they are to crop, 5 cm (2-inch) deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-cultivated, fertile soil, which has already been watered.

Mr Ian J F –
After a long time growing different dwarf French beans I tried these a couple of years ago. They are the best I have grown and I will stick with these for the future. They crop heavily, despite only growing to about 9-12” in height. They freeze well after blanching. Most of all they taste excellent.
