‘Princess’ Flat-podded Pole Bean

This wonderful bean was recommended to us by Camilla Plum, seed collector and celebrity gardener from Denmark. She sent a few seed from her collection and explained that it was a very old variety that is no longer in circulation, and that it was unique because the pods stay tender for ages on the plant, even when they get fat and the beans have filled out. 

We tried it here in Wales and it was really good with exceptionally tasty, big flattened pods.

Seed not available every year, so again do save your own for future use if you like it.
