French Filet Bush Bean

French Filet Bush Bean Seeds

‘French Filet’ Bush Bean is a gourmet-style green bean known for slender, dark green pods, tender texture, and rich flavor. Compact plants produce abundant crops of fine, stringless pods that typically reach 4–5 inches long.

Sow ‘French Filet’ directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. The bushy plants grow about 12–16 inches tall, require no trellising, and are well suited to garden rows, raised beds, and smaller growing spaces.

Harvest the pods while they are young and slender for the most tender texture and best flavor. Pick frequently as the beans mature to encourage continued production and keep the pods from becoming oversized.

‘French Filet’ beans cook quickly and are especially good for fresh eating, steaming, sautéing, roasting, and other dishes where a delicate, tender green bean is preferred.
