Default Dwarf French Beans

Good afternoon,

I'm thinking about growing some French beans this year and, as always, I've
got a couple of questions!

1. Can anyone recommend a variety - I've been told that 'Hilton' is the
most commonly grown, but I liked the look of the 'Purple Teepee' variety;
has anyone grow these before?

2. If French beans are allowed to developed full pods, can the beans be
stored for cooking over winter?

Yet again, many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Andrew
