Which Dwarf Peas/Beans for Planter?

[amandaandherveg]

I bought 4 of the Homebase £2.98 planters at the weekend and would like to grow some dwarf peas and beans in them.

Can you suggest a few varitieties that may be suitable.

I can recommend RB Hestia as well. Have been growing it for the past 3 years in containers and it seems to do really well.

I grew a yellow wax French bean Sonesta in containers. Did very well. RHS Award of Merit for taste.

Any dwarf french bean will do ok in a pot. There's a pea called Half Pint which is specialy bred for pot growing. Can't fault Hestia as a runner either. Good luck with them.

I have some of those in a pot at the moment, Mum grew them last year and said they were nice so looking forward to them myself. Also have Purple Queen again pinched from Mum

PM me your address if you would like a few Amanda.

Hestia are great in a pot and the flowers are so pretty. PM me Amanda if you want some and I'll send them.
