The message
from "Phil L" contains these words:

Do dwarf french beans grow? - there's no mention of it on the packet and
they are now about 9 inches high, I'm going to be growing them in tubs due
to space restrictions...do they grow like a bush? - do they need a 'wigwam'
of canes?

They're self supporting bushes and don't climb or need any support.
Up to about 12 or 15 inches high. Conduct a regular hand search on them,
because they'll produce usable pods long before you expect, hidden from
view below the lower leaves.

Some varieties are only partially dwarfed, and may straggle some years
(depending on the weather). Rarely more than a couple of feet, and
usually less.
