‘Coco Sophie’ Flat Pole Bean

A tall climbing bean from the late 1700s. With very flat pods, it looks like a runner, but really isn’t, it’s a proper french bean.We love this bean because it has an absolutely wonderful buttery texture when cooked and an excellent flavour.

After three hundred years, it became commercially unavailable in 2006. We brought this rare bean back, starting with a small sample from our seedbank. Not available every year, but if you like it – as we think you will – it’s very easy to keep your own seed following the instructions supplied.

Beautiful white seeds, large buttery green pods.
