A premium French filet bean prized for its exceptionally long, slender, dark green pods, refined gourmet flavor, and outstanding garden productivity. Vigorous climbing vines produce abundant clusters of elegant, stringless beans over an extended harvest season, making Firdaouss a favorite among home gardeners, chefs, and market growers alike. Known for combining the tenderness of classic French haricots verts with the heavy yields of a pole bean, this exceptional variety delivers continuous harvests of restaurant-quality beans throughout the summer.
Firdaouss Beans are celebrated for their delicate sweetness, crisp texture, and refined, fresh garden flavor. The slender pods remain virtually stringless and exceptionally tender, making them ideal for quick cooking methods that preserve their gourmet quality. Their mild, buttery taste pairs beautifully with herbs, butter, garlic, lemon, olive oil, and fine seasonings.
Sow seeds directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures reach at least 60°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 4–6 inches apart along sturdy trellises, poles, fences, or bean teepees. Keep the soil evenly moist during flowering and pod production. Frequent harvesting encourages continual flowering and extends production until frost.
Harvest pods when they are approximately 7 to 9 inches long while still slender, smooth, and deep green. Picking every two to three days keeps plants highly productive and ensures peak tenderness. Fresh beans refrigerate well for about one week and retain excellent quality when frozen or canned.
