Do they grow as a bush or into a long climbing plant?

Yin Yang beans.........grow as Dwarf Freach Beans, attractive yellow pods about 8" high...watch out for slugs, they love them! >:(
OMG aren't they wonderful ! Where can I get them, any clues? Any climbing varieties?
I think there are some climbing types, but I've only had the dwarf ones from the Eden Project...

Ahhh...but if you
DO plant them, then you will get more fab decorative beans ;D
I believe these are also known as calypso or orca beans ... :D
;D thats true, when youre right youre right, so i went and bought some dwarf french beans from lidle at 49p a pack, theyre black and white but not really yin/yang looking, maybe the ones i grow will be :) my son picked them out n didnt realise till i opened them to start them off (jar and damp kitchen towel, as is the only way when youre growing beans with small kids!) still, sooo pretty! i know! ::) excited over seeds, and i havent even dug the ground over to plant them in yet!!! cheer up weather! and on the days im free to go please!!!!
You could always drill little holes in them and string them together for a pretty necklace bracelet and even matching ear-rings if you get too many to eat.
