Phaseolus coccineus 'Pickwick'
|
Description
A British bred dwarf variety. Compact bushy plants without runners make it ideal for small or exposed gardens. Quite early maturing with stringless pods. If sown as recommended, a packet of seed is sufficient for a single row of approx 25 feet (7.5m).
Prolific and decorative plants thriving in well cultivated soils containing plenty of humus. Regular watering in dry periods will be amply rewarded by a heavy crop of delicious tender young beans for table and freezing. Sow in April under glass or cloches, or outdoors in May and June. 12-16 weeks to maturity.
