Bean Bush French Filet

These delicate ‘French Filet’ beans are no longer a luxury item found only in gourmet restaurants. Enjoy them fresh from your garden all summer long. Filet (or as the French day, haricot verts) are slender beans; pencil-thin at only ¼” in diameter and 4 ½” long, and so tender. Steam or sauté for just a minute and enjoy. Easy and delicious. This packet sows up to 27 feet.

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.
