Description

Bean 'French Climbing' (Phaseolus vulgaris), often grown as Haricot Vert pole bean varieties, is a classic open-pollinated heirloom prized for its slender pods, delicate texture, and continuous summer yields. Growing as a vigorous climbing vine reaching 6 to 8 feet in height, it yields abundant clusters of straight, round, stringless dark green pods measuring 6 to 8 inches long. The tender pods feature a sweet, nutty flavor profile with crisp, delicate flesh that remains tender even as seeds mature. Ideal for trellises, tepees, and vertical garden setups, French Climbing beans are perfect for fresh steaming, sautéing in butter, blanching, and freezing.
