Slenderette Bush Bean
Growing Slenderette Bush Bean
‘Slenderette’ Bush Bean is an early, high-yielding variety known for its long, slender pods, tender texture, and classic ‘Blue Lake’ flavor. The glossy dark green pods reach about 5 inches long and remain free of strings and tough fibers when harvested at the proper stage.
Sow ‘Slenderette’ directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. The compact bush plants require no trellising and are well suited to garden rows, raised beds, and smaller growing spaces.
Harvest the pods while they are young, slender, and tender for the best eating quality. Pick regularly as the beans mature to encourage continued production and maintain pod quality throughout the harvest period.
‘Slenderette’ offers strong disease resistance and is well suited for fresh eating, cooking, canning, and freezing.
