The listing, "Velour" - an heirloom French filet bean (20+) has ended.
Vibrant purple pods!
This is another treasure we found at the National Heirloom Festival last month.
A true French filet bean, this compact, disease resistant bush produces produce heavy crops of gorgeous, 5-6" slender stringless beans over an extended harvest period (unlike many kinds of bush bean that produce their beans all at once).
Delicious for fresh eating --and it freezes exceptionally well, they say. (The beans turn green when cooked.)
All you gardeners with limited space will be thrilled with this French heirloom: it only grows 15 inches tall so it's perfect for growing in containers!
55 days from transplant. Plant 3-4″ apart in rows 18-36″ apart in full sun.
This auction is for 20 seeds!
