RHS Dwarf French Bean Elba Seeds
Enjoy generous harvests of slim tender beans in even the smallest spaces with RHS Dwarf French Bean Elba Seeds by Mr Fothergills. Elba is a modern compact variety bred for high yields, outstanding flavour and excellent garden performance which makes it ideal for beds, borders, raised beds and larger containers.
Plants produce long straight pods around 15cm in length, each one fine, smooth and completely stringless when picked at the right stage. The beans have a superb flavour and a tender texture that is delicious lightly steamed, boiled or sautéed. They also freeze well so you can store some of your crop for later in the year.
Elba has been selected for improved resistance to pests and disease which means plants stay healthy for longer, supporting heavier crops from early summer into autumn. Fast maturing and very productive, this variety is perfect for gardeners who want reliable results with minimal fuss. As a dwarf French bean, plants stay bushy and compact so there is no need for tall supports which makes it especially suitable for smaller gardens and allotment edges.
For best results, sow from April to July in fertile, moisture retentive soil in a sunny sheltered spot. Sow direct in rows or blocks, or start seeds in pots and transplant once seedlings are established. Keep soil evenly moist and weed free. Regular picking encourages plants to keep flowering and producing new pods right through the season, often from June to October.
RHS Dwarf French Bean Elba carries the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit for reliability and good performance in UK gardens. As part of the Mr Fothergills seed range created in partnership with the RHS, it has been thoroughly trialled for yield, flavour and garden worthiness so you can grow with confidence.
Each packet contains 100 seeds, enough for a generous row or several compact plantings around the veg plot. Team Elba with AllotMate Essentials seed trays, soil improvers and watering solutions to give your crop the very best start.
