This bush-type variety is easy to manage, requiring no support, and provides a continuous, bountiful crop suitable for the UK and Irish summer garden.

• Growth Habit: Dwarf, bush-type (requires no staking).

• Early Maturity: Produces crops relatively quickly for an early summer harvest.

Gardener's Tip for Peak Flavour

Wax beans like 'Rocquencourt' are at their absolute best when harvested while they are young and tender. Plant outdoors in late May/early June. Unlike green beans, the golden colour means they are easily visible, so check the plants frequently (every 2-3 days). Pick the pods before the seeds inside begin to bulge significantly. If left too long, they lose their signature tenderness and delicate flavour. Consistent picking is also key to encouraging the plant to produce a second and third flush of flowers and pods, maximizing your overall yield.
