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. This packet sows up to 20 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.

When to start inside: Not recommended; bean seedlings are sensitive to root disturbance.
