Dwarf French Bean Borlotto

The 'Borlotto' dwarf French bean variety is well-known for its exquisitely speckled red and cream pods, which contribute to its visual appeal and flavour. The shelling beans from this cultivar are especially prized since they can be used in a number of culinary applications and can be used either fresh or dried. Borlotto beans are a mainstay in Italian cuisine, valued for their deep, nutty flavour that makes them ideal for soups, stews, and classic meals like risotto.

Plant dwarf French bean 'Borlotto' in a sunny position with well-drained, healthy soil for effective cultivation. Watering it moderately is beneficial, especially as the plants begin to flower and the pods start to form. Because it is a dwarf type, it can be grown in pots or in smaller garden spaces without the need for staking.

Supplied in approx. 9cm pot.
