The world’s first purple podded ‘daisy type’ French bean! This unique variety will certainly add some colour to your vegetable plot - the slender pods are borne on dark stems against a mass of healthy dark green foliage. The bright purple flowers are particularly attractive, making this a superb ornamental-edible for the patio. Harvested regularly, dwarf French bean ‘Mistik’ will crop throughout the summer from June right through to October.

SOWING INSTRUCTIONS: Sow bean seeds at a depth of 5cm (2in) in 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays of free-draining, seed sowing compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag at a temperature of 12-25°C (54-77°F) until germination, which takes 7-10 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.

GROWING ON: Once germinated, grow on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and the dwarf French bean plants are large enough to be transplanted. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before planting French beans outdoors in rich fertile, well drained soil in full sun with protection from strong winds. Alternatively direct sow dwarf green beans outdoors when the soil as warmed. Sow 2 bean seeds per station at a depth of 5cm (2in) and a distance of 23cm (9in) apart. Plant dwarf beans in rows that are 45cm (18in) apart.
