Bring the elegance of a classic French filet bean to your garden with Serengeti Bean seeds. This open-pollinated variety features robust, upright plants that produce high yields of 14 cm long, straight, smooth, medium green pods. These tender and delicious pods are a joy to harvest and eat, and the plant’s great disease resistance makes it a reliable choice for any gardener.

  • Type: Bush Bean, French Filet, Open-Pollinated
  • Pod Size: 14 cm long, straight, smooth, medium green
  • Features: High-yielding; great disease resistance; beautiful tasting, tender pods; robust and upright plants.

Beans have a distinct dislike for cold, wet soils, so sow seeds only after the soil has warmed to at least 16°C.

Planting: For best growth, sow seeds in a sunny location with light, organic, well-drained soil. Sow seeds 2.5 cm deep and 8 cm apart in rows spaced 45 to 70 cm apart. To ensure a continuous harvest, make successive sowings of these bush varieties every 10 days until mid-July.

Care: Keep the soil evenly watered, particularly when the plants are in flower and starting to produce pods. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizer, as it promotes excessive foliage. When leaves are damp, avoid disturbing the plants to reduce the risk of disease. Germination occurs in 5-10 days.

The Serengeti bean is a superb choice for gardeners who want both a prolific harvest and a superior culinary experience. Its tender and succulent texture, a hallmark of the French filet type, is a delight to the palate. Furthermore, the strong, upright plants make for a tidy garden and an easy harvest, while their excellent disease resistance ensures a dependable crop. This variety provides the perfect combination of gourmet quality and reliable performance.
