Dwarf French Bean Seeds - Delinel - RHS Award Winning Gourmet Variety (150 Seeds)

The Gourmet Gardener’s Choice for Flavour and Yield.

Delinel is widely regarded by chefs and kitchen gardeners alike as the gold standard for French beans. An RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, this variety is famous for its exceptional flavour and its ability to produce heavy crops of perfectly straight, "extra-fine" pods.

Each pack contains 150 seeds, giving you an abundance of these premium, dark-green beans. The pods are completely stringless and grow to approximately 15cm (6in) long. Unlike some varieties that can become "woody" if left on the plant a day too long, Delinel remains tender and succulent, making it a reliable choice for the home cook.

Why 'Delinel' belongs in your garden:

• Award-Winning Performance: Proud recipient of the RHS AGM for its outstanding garden reliability and crop quality.

• Superior Flavour: Often winning in "blind taste tests," it has a rich, sweet, and classic French bean taste.

• Exceptional Disease Resistance: Highly resistant to Bean Mosaic Virus and Anthracnose, ensuring your plants stay healthy and productive all season.

• Long Cropping Window: If you pick the beans regularly, the plants will continue to produce fresh pods from mid-summer right through to the first autumn frosts.
