Beans - Cobra (Pole)

Cobra Pole Beans are a French filet type beloved by gourmet gardeners for their elegant form and exceptional flavor—long, round, stringless pods that bring restaurant quality to the home kitchen. Vigorous climbing vines produce abundantly all season, and the refined, rich taste shines whether lightly steamed, sautéed in butter, or served simply with sea salt. A beautiful and delicious bean that raises the bar in any vegetable garden.

Growing Instructions: Direct sow 1–2 inches deep after last frost when soil reaches 60°F. Install support structures before planting. Harvest pods frequently when young and slender—at 4–6 inches—for peak flavor and tenderness. Regular harvesting is essential to keep plants producing all season.
