French Maxibel Bush Bean
Botanical Interests Packet
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 gourmet bean is considered to be one of the best tasting beans you can grow.
