Botanical Interests® Bean Bush Filet Maxibel Organic - 15g
While most haricot verts (French for "green beans") are harvested in petite form, "Maxibel" is a full length, French style, stringless, filet bean. Beans remain slender until peak picking which is between 6"-8" long and 1/4" wide. Bush beans make for great container planting as they are compact and rarely need staking.
Sowing Tips:
When to Sow Outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 65°F, ideally 70°-85°F. Successive Sowings: Every 7 to 14 days up to 80 days before your average first fall frost date. NOTE: In very hot summer areas, skip sowing as high heat approaches; temperatures consistently above 90°F will prevent beans from forming.
When to Start Inside: Not recommended; bean seedlings are sensitive to root disturbance.
