Blue Lake is a traditional climbing French bean with real heritage appeal, grown for sweet, slim green pods and strong vertical cropping. The plants climb to around 150cm, so they suit cane rows, wigwams, trellis, netting and bean frames where space is limited but height can be used productively. Young pods are stringless, pencil shaped and tender, making them excellent for fresh summer cooking, freezing, stir fries, side dishes and mixed vegetable meals. Later in the season, some pods can be left to mature for white haricot style beans, giving this variety extra kitchen value beyond fresh green beans. It is a strong choice for allotments, raised beds, kitchen gardens and home growers who want an old favourite climbing bean with reliable flavour, yield and traditional character.
