We have potted some Dwarf French Bean Seeds - Castandel in our poly tunnel. Looking them up on internet they grow 18" tall will we have to support them with cane when we plant them out? reading some sites dont say and some say no need to.
Dwarf French Bean growers do you support yours with canes?

Thanks in advance

I've not grown this variety before but haven't supported my dwarf beans in the past.  Yes, they might get a bit muddy, but they wash off easily enough.

I've grown this variety a couple of times, and they don't really need supporting.  They crop really heavily, and are tasty, long beans, one of the best I've ever grown. I grew mine outside though, so I don't know if they'll perform the same in a tunnel.

No you need not support them they need to be planted out at 15cm apart and they will self support . I grow, and all my neighbours,  dwarf french beans every year there is nobody I know who would give them support they do not need it. Do though remember to pick pick pick even if you do not need them give them away otherwise the cropping season will be short.

Great thanks for taking the time to answer.
