French Beans Vegetable Seeds Packet

The Caviar of Green Beans - Tres Magnifique!

French Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) or as the French call them, "haricots verts" (literally "green beans")! These are NOT your grandmother's ordinary green beans - French beans are the slender, elegant, gourmet beauties that command premium prices at farmers markets and five-star restaurants. What makes them so special? These ultra-tender filet beans are harvested young when they're pencil-thin (4-7 inches long), delivering an incredibly delicate texture and refined, sweet flavor that's simply incomparable to standard green beans. The classic varieties produce beautiful dark green, ultra-slim pods that are virtually stringless, with a velvety tender skin you can practically eat raw! Whether you choose compact 12-24 inch bush types that mature all at once (perfect for canning and freezing marathons!) or vigorous 6-8 foot pole varieties that climb trellises and produce continuously all summer, French beans reward with heavy yields of gourmet-quality pods in just 50-65 days. Best of all, they're incredibly easy to grow - just plant after frost, keep watered, and harvest frequently for weeks of the most tender, flavorful beans you've ever tasted!
