About
Whether you're a novice grower or a more experienced green thumb, the French Filet Bean is an easy-to-grow plant. The French Filet bean (or as the French say, haricot verts) offers a high-quality yield with low maintenance. Slender pods are only 1/4 inch in diameter and 4 inches long, and so tender and tasty!

Planting and Care Instructions
Direct sow outside after the danger of frost has passed. Sow 1 inch deep, near a garden trellis to encourage climbing. Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly.
