Description

Fla Deux is a robust flageolet bush bean with a fine flavor. The white-seeded beans are harvested green before they are fully ripe, when the pods have a leathery consistency. They are prepared fresh or dried in the shade, in which case the beans retain their color. The pods are approx. 13 cm long. They have a very fine skin, a creamy consistency and a mild bean flavor. Flageolet beans are a delicacy of traditional French cuisine and are rarely found today.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Direct sowing in clumps or rows is possible until mid-July. Stability is increased by sowing in clumps and by regularly hoeing around the plants. During the main harvesting period, you can harvest the ripe pods every three days. If you cover the seedlings with fleece or foil, early sowing is possible, even if the temperatures are still low. Nitrogen fertilization is not necessary as the nodule bacteria fix nitrogen on the roots.
